Tiny Bumps Under Eyes

by PM33, Apr 16, 2009 08:46PM
I have had a problem with acne all my life and took a course of Accutane in my early twenties. I was acne free for 10 years, but then it came back and I developed tiny bumps under my eyes that my dermatologist said were syringoma (after a year of treating it as acne with retin-a and antibiotics). As usual, the antibiotics and retin-a did not do anything to treat my acne problems, so I have begun a new course of Accutane. Immediately after staring the Accutane, I noticed the tiny bumps under my eyes were lessening. After a month they were completely gone. Now, my dermatologist is second guessing her diagnosis of syringoma for she does not think they would go away so quickly with the Accutane. She now thinks they were just cysts. What do you think? Also, if they are cysts, then what causes this? How do I prevent them from coming back after my Accutane treatment?

I have a problem with syringomas under my eyes, with pm33 story shared i just feel relieved to read that i found a solution to my problem. is accutane really safe to use for anyone without your doctor's order? and is this an over the counter or prescription application?

thanks,
ramche
