Hello everybody I'm currently on accutane I'm on my third month now and my body is starting to really dry. I'm taking 80mg a day. I have red patches all over and my neck is really bad. I've been using cataphil moisturizer for a week now and its not helping. Should i be concern? Because my neck is rashy and I'm embarrassed to leave my house. I just got laid off from my job and I'm really stressed...Please i need some kind of support. Has anyone gone through this? Should i ask my derm to take me off accutane?

I was part of the massive Philippine layoff of Jan 15 - around 1000 employees of 2 large US companies lost their jobs in a single day. There was even talk of a local outsourcing company who simply shutdown unannounced. There was crying in the city at that time --good thing I had internet income running 2 months before --so I really wasn't worried like the rest who had to contend with a new larger job market looking for scarce jobs. 1000 people may be small compared to the US - but this is the first time this has happened to the Philippines!

In the meetings of the "fired people, I felt I had to extend a hand and said "Why don't they visit my website - - I teach a free three month lesson via email on how to create income using blogs." Though I was shy at first, I think they really needed to know that there options out there. Specially now. I extend the same invite to you. Once your anger or disbelief is over. Signup to my blog and start learning the step by step lessons that enabled me to smile when things are grim.

Thanks for all the input.I think I'm just going to load up on moisturizers. Hopefully these side effects with red dry skin wears off when i stop taking accutane.I know this is a acne board but its just sucks to see people lose their jobs in this bad economy. Best wishes people.
