-220 pound, male -Got roaccutane 40mg due cystic acne (did steroid cycle) -attached bloowork 2months after cycle (is the estradiol abnormal?) -My face has been cleared but severe acne preavil on shoulder back and chest (2 months on treatment) -3 days ago I got hard pain in left shoulder, then tight in back and finally chest, hard to breath deeply, only ibuphoren helps -doctor said it was from gym (even tho I hardly trained while on treatment), and gave me bloodowrks (waiting for them)
Currently in a course of accutane, and I was prescribed a topical steroid to use on and off for 4 months (desonide 0.05%) to help with retinoid dermatitis. I was unaware that it could lead to perioral dermatitis, and now I have steroid-induced perioral dermatitis. I've tried topicals, but they only seem to make it worse (especially due to sensitive, dry skin now). Current provider has me on oral antibiotics (macrolide). How long will they take to clear up the POD?
I have taken accutane when I was in my teens to be preventative, then am going to go onto accutane again to be preventative at 23. My question is I took steroids after this second round of treatment is it likely that ill have to go onto accutane for a third time or will it likely mean my acne side effects be lessened having done accutane twice
After my second cycle the redness appeared AFTER I stopped taken accutane, while on it my skin tone was normal and there was no redness. The redness stayed until I started my 3rd cycle and once I stared it the redness went almost completely away but once I finished with the cycle the redness returned. After 3 months with redness I went to the dermatologist and he gave me a foamy steroid cream meant for people with rocsea... it did nothing. I'm 15 months post accutane and it hasn't gone away.
hello , I had few cystic nodules on my face, done steroid injection , two times in same areas as did not helped , at the moment i am on accutane 70mg one a day, for 2 month ...cyst gone but left scars ...hypertrophic scars ...what can I do to reduce it while I am on roaccutane ?I feel terrible to see me every day like that , thank you
I had been using betnovate n for 4 years on my face unknowingly it is a steroid, off late got was getting pimples a lot so consulted a derm who asked me to stop using it and post it I have had a bad flare of acne and redness. That had just begun to resolve a bit that after a month into my withdrawal my derm has put me on accutane. It's been 3 days since accutane that my face is again red and very hot. I can't make out whether its a withdrawal flare or accutane could be the cause. Help
ive been on the oral steroid to stop the flare and even antibiotics... it just seems to be getting worse below are progressional pictures of just how bad it looks. This is post and pre oral steroids and antibiotics course.
hello, I've been on accutane for a while and have been experimenting some thinning/balding where my receding hair line is. I was wondering if it would be possible to use a topical steroid to help induce hair growth before this issue gets more severe while I am on accutane.
