I am looking into both accutane and cosmetic surgery (lipo, breast fat transfer, possible tummy tuck). Is there a recommendation for how long after surgery you would need to wait before starting accutane (or vice versa) to prevent worse scarring?
I've been breaking out on my face, neck, ears, back, chest, all the way down to my stomach and the top of my buttocks since I was 11. I'm now 26. I've tried antibiotics, prescription topical ointments, and quite literally every over the counter treatment. Nothing makes more than a small difference. I've been considering accutane for a few years now. Is it possible I could be prescribed it, without having to do more bogus topicals and antibiotics? I live in the Phoenix area.
Any clue what this is & how to get rid of it? For a year+ I've had these bumps on my torso. I'm thin, no skin folds, never sweaty. Wear loose cotton clothing, rarely wear a bra. The bumps are on ribcage between breasts, & upper stomach. It often stings/itches. I've tried benzoyl perox, BHA, AHA, hydrocortizone, Desonide, tretinoin, Hibiclens, Cerave, Mupirocin, Xolegel, doxycycline, Keflex, Spiro, zinc soap, erythromycin, etc...nothing helps. Any ideas?
Started Accutane 2 days ago (40 mg) once a day take at after I eat dinner. Today mid afternoon I have server stomach pain after eating cereal. Used lactose free milk. Could this be related or could it be the stomach virus? Neighbor has same symptoms and doesn't take Accutane.
I have been taking 20mg of accutane daily for about 50 days. Everything was fine but I just started having serious gas, nausea and constipation. I read somewhere that these symptoms could lead to chrons disease or IBD and Im freaking out! But I really dont want to stop. So Im wondering if I should stop or not?
I have been on Accutane for just over two months and is experiencing severe stomach pain on the left of my belly. Everytime I eat something my stomach bloat up very big. I have now stopped the drug for 5 days and it is getting slightly better. I will see my dermatologist in the next two weeks and will consult with her. However, in the meantime I was wondering if anyone has experienced similar symptoms? Also by me stopping the medication for the next few weeks will my ance come back?
