I am currently on 50mg of Accutane and I am continuously getting flaky skin. I moisturise all the time but about 10 minutes later, I have more flaky skin. What can I do to get rid of this; is there any recommended moisturisers ( using cetaphil moisturiser at the moment). Also, I have had eczema but it has gotten significantly worse on my arms and neck, is there anything to help this ( I have been using dermol cream a lot). Thanks
Hi, my dermatologist did not recommend any face moisturiser and body lotion when she prescribed me with the medication Isotretinoin. May I know what brand or type of face moisturizer/ body lotion to use while taking Isotretinoin? Also, I exercise at least 3times a week including running, Swimming and Cycling. Is this okay for my skin since I will sweat a lot during exercise? Appreciate your advise. Thank you in advance!
I've been placed on 20mg isotretinoin daily for 2 weeks now. People have told me that my skin will become very dry and I'll need to moisturize it.. though I'm finding that whenever I came home or wake up in the morning and feel my face, I can still see heavy amounts of oil on it, and so moisturizing it is surely counterproductive as a result? My lips however are getting a bit dryer, but nothing major, and my acne has actually worsened over the past 15 days. Should I be worried? Is my dose too low?
I'm currently using roaccutane for like nearly 2 weeks but my doctor has asked me to use a moisturiser and I don't won't to use because my face is oily and I got a moisturiser lotion and I use it during nigh only cause during day time I've been using sunscreen is this a gd. Idea or?
I have a jar on hand that I use on my 3 year old's dry skin patches. I'm just 4 days into using Accutane and have some pretty significant dry skin / peeling happening around my nose, around my mouth and on my chin. I did use it last night after I showered and it really helped. Other lotions I have just don't cut it. If you suggest not using the Aquaphor, I'll purchase the Cetaphil, Elta or Elevase moisturizers. Thanks!
Not just my face, but my body too. I make sure to moisturize all the time as well. Is this normal and is there anything i can do to help it? The last 3 nights ive had horrible sleeps because i constantly wake up itchy.
I recently started accutane about 3 weeks ago and my skin is doing great. No dryness yet but I will be going to Hawaii soon and am worried about the effects that will have on my skin. What should I do with moisturizers and sun exposure?
Hello, I've been on Accutane for 5 months (60mg dose) with one month remaining. My acne has cleared, unfortunately leaving a lot of red spots (post-inflammatory erythema). I understand this process takes a long time to heal, and I've been sticking to my normal moisturizers, cleansers whilst on this drug. I was just wondering if weightlifting/ moderate to high-intensity exercise exacerbates my condition of post-inflammatory erythema or does it have no effect.
