Im starting accutane in a month and Im wondering if I can use veet for Bikini area? Im not sure of my dosage yet but Im 110lbs and 54. When I shave I get bad razor burn and veet has been really good. My skin just gets red for a day or so and I use aloe to soothe it. Is veet still an option for me? Thank you.
I'm just about to finish my course of Roaccutane and my dermatologist told me he recommends waiting for one and a half years after stopping Roaccutane to wax or have laser hair removal due to the risk of scarring. I haven't had overly sensitive or dry skin and tolerated the Roaccutane well so I was just wondering if he is being overly cautious as it seems like a very long time to wait.
I have been on accutane for two months at 60 mg/day (max dose for my weight) - I have dark skin and dark hair and used to get brazilian waxes regularly to remove hair from my pubic area. I know waxing would be too harmful for my skin in its current state so I'm wondering what are other safe alternatives (nair, shaving, laser, etc.)? I'm nervous because I recently had my eyebrows threaded and my skin reacted very negatively to it (itchy, painful, and bumpy), which it had never done before.
I have just started with low dose Accutane (10mg/ day) 2 weeks ago. I haven't experienced many side effects as yet, except some flaking on my upper lip and exacerbation of my acne. The laser clinic that I go to said it would be safe to have laser hair removal done on my face while on a low dose which I only started recently. However, I'm still unsure and would like to know if it is safe and what are the risks of scarring?
