Rosacea/Acne after 3 rounds of Accutane

ORIGINAL POST

Rosacea/Acne after 3 rounds of accutane??

I finished my third round of accutane in January of this year. I feel like my face has been getting worse since then. It seems to flare up almost every day with heat and redness. I seem to keep developing a lot of pigmentation like marks, just in the last couple weeks experiencing very small like red bumps that I assuage are tiny breakouts on one side of my face. I’m not sure if my skin is just very thin and sensitive after the pills, it’s an allergic sensitivity rsh/hives, or if it’s a mild form of Rosacea developing. Can someone help??

It has been two years after my three months on this poison and my skin has never bounced back and I’m beginning to fear that my oil glands have been shut for good and skin will remain paper thin and fragile for the rest of my life, it has changed everything in my body - dried up hair, skin, nails, lips, you name it and no amount of ingesting oil or applying it topically makes even a slight improvement- worst mistake ever, its not a medicine its legalized poison chemo that is being sold as drug. It has also aged my skin prematurely since its so thin, dry and not able to retain moisture - i can’t be in even a slightly warm weather now - i begin to sweat like I am in the sauna, not working out like I used to either since even slight muscle warm up makes me red and sweaty and it still feels like this poison is in my system as when i sweat, it burns my skin, so it has been real “fun” existence after accutane.
low dose doxycycline for a few months . this will help calm any inflammation going on. Also consider differin nightly as it's very anti-inflammatory. no more accutane
Your skin looks dehydrated and sensitive due to expected side effects. Drink lots of fluids, stay out of the sun, apply hydrating moisturizer frequently, and try to sleep on your back so it doesn’t rub against your pillow.
