Hi everyone,

I am now eight weeks into a 60mg per day treatment for Roaccutane, and have been experiencing what seems to be similar to mild eczema on my arms and hands. For the first month of the treatment i was taking Erythromycin anti-biotics to control any initial breakout, and for the last two weeks i experienced this eczema. However, once the anti-biotics finished it went away.

It has now come back, so my theory of linking it to the anti-biotics appears to be flawed!

I am planning to try some standard topical treatments from the chemist to see if they help, but if anyone else has any information on the subject it would much appreciated.

Many thanks,

David, 22
