Accutane and Red Urethra

[DaHonch]

I did a google to make sure I wasn't alone with this symtom.   I am presently taking 160 mg of Accuntane daily (in my 3rd month).  I started to notice that the head of my penis was sticking to my underwear.  Upon inspection, I noticed the urethra tube was blood red.  There is no pain associated with this.  Nor, is there any discharge of any kind.  Just feels sticky.  I assumed it was part of the side-effects of Accutane as even my eyelids feel sticky at times. Therefore, I massaged some Aquaphor onto the head of my penis getting the tip of the tube moist.  The redness went away by the next morning.  Therefore, my daily regiment includes lubricated the tip of my penis, lips, nose and eyelids.

I am a female patient and i ot a lot of urethral irritation and endless bladder infections during and following months of accutane treatment. I highly recommend you to quit the treatment because the side effects don'T always go away when you finish the course. 2 yrs after that,i am still plagued with irritation and itchy feeling in my uretrha which makes my daily life horrible and sitting is disturbing. Have been to numerous drs and some suggested i might have developed interstitial cystitis (IC) from excessive chemical in this med. Now i am detoxing my body and trying to live my life with no meds. Accutane ? I would tell you a big NO!
