I'm about 2 months post accutane. A few days ago on of my cheeks basically started getting really red.

Now it's read and sort of tingly/burny feeling. It's been like this for a few days.

I don't use any cleansers, I only moisturize (jojoba + cetaphil).



Do you think it could be rosacea?

Hi there

Yes it is likely Accutane induced Rosacea. It often goes away given time, but for some it does not. If the burning happens when cheeks get red or flush, it could be an idea to read other's experiences and remedies in the top thread called Post Accutane/Minocycline Flushing.

Best, Shantelle
