Adverse Interatcions?
by Giorgio1234, Jun 10, 2009 08:03PM
Hi,
Are there any potentially adverse effects associated with using a topical corticosteroid or topical clyndimicine solution while on Accutane? I just started taking Accutane for my acne, while another doctor has prescribed me the topicals for folliculitis (which I believe may be folliculitis decalvans). I was told it was alright to use these together, but I would appreciate a second opinion. Also, do you know of any other treatment regimens for folliculitis decalvans?
Thank you
