Acutane
by Gracie79, Feb 11, 2009 02:16PM
Hi I am on my third month of acutane and have a ton of large bumps under my skin that almost looks like a rash. I had taken acutane before and did not expierence this side effect. Do you think it is from the acutane?

Accutane is an isotretinoin, may indeed cause such rash (including facial erythema, seborrhea, and eczema) as a side effect. Effects are usually dose related ( dependent on the dosage applied). Aside from the rash, other observed side effects include: alopecia , bruising, dry mouth, dry skin, flushing, fragility of skin, hair abnormalities, hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation, pruritus, abnormal wound healing ( ref: http://www.rxlist.com/accutane-drug.htm). It would be best to inform your doctor about this for proper management.
Take care and regards.
Reblance skin by using bland cleansing and moisturising products. My favorite brand whilst on Accutane was La Roche-Posay. The physiological cleanser is very gentle and the Rosaliac range soothes redness.
