I'm going to Punta Cana in a month in a half, and I'm a bit worried about the sun and possible alcoholic drinks. I'll be gone for a total of 9 days, 7 of those spent in Punta Cana. I've been on Accutane Roche 40mg for 11 days so far(lips dry and cracked, skin less oily by the end of the day). I was wondering if it'd be okay to stop accutane for a total of 2 weeks? And if it'd be a bad idea to have alcohol beverages in 2 weeks?
My dermatologist has prescribed me Accutane. I told her I would be going to Thailand for a month in 3 weeks (summer in Thailand). She said as long as a wear sunscreen and loose tops with sleeves and as long as I am careful I should be fine to start Accutane before my trip. But I will be in the sun quite frequently as I am going to be volunteering with Elephants and snorkelling. I'm now beginning to think it may be a bad idea to start so close to when I am leaving. Just wanted another opinion.
14yr old has been on accutane for 1 month (30mg) and will be traveling in 60 days to the carribean.Can he stop taking the Accutane prior and restart when we return? We want to reduce sensitivty to sun. It wil be difficult to keep him in the shade as he is extremly active.Shouls it be stopped a few weeks before?
