So I have been on Accutane for a few months so far and about since i statrted taking it my face has turned pale and red. I also blush all the time whenever im talking to someone or doing light excersize or anything basically. The blushing and redness is bothering me alot and its very noticable. Is there anything the dermatologist can do about the blushing? and will all of this go away after I get off of the Accutane?

this is very common for people who are on accutane,especially fair skinned people. I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done about it while you are on the drug. it will go away probably a few months after you stop accutane.

Yes, the flushing is very common on accutane. "Tane burn" is also possible... that's when almost your whole face is red (like sunburn) and still shite around the eyes....without going away like blushing.

My tane burn went away after a month but I still blush very easily and get hot flashes sometimes...

Okay cool, I dont mind waiting as long as I know its gonna get better. I really hope the blushing comes to almost a complete stop though but I would rather be red for a little while than have all those pimples on my face again
