Flushing from acne medications???
by KarynElise857, May 13, 2008 07:30PM
Can acne oral medications cause flushing and facial redness? Will it go away after stopping medications? I have been off all medications for one month but I still flush really bad.

The time it will take for this side effect to go away depends on which medicine you were taking. Isotretinoin has a long half life and it is not unusual to still experience redness one month after completing your course.
Use bland cleansers and moisturisers until this has passed. I recommend either Rosaliac or Toleriane by La Roche-Posay, or try Lutsine Hydrafnia or Eucerin. Loiloi x
