In Topic: Flushing While On Accutane - Enough Reason To Stop? Help!

04 February 2013 - 02:45 AM

When I took it I had flushing during my course too. It went away mostly after I was done but I have naturally very sensitive skin to begin with. Talk to your derm and get his opinion if your really concerned though.

 

His opinion is that it will go away after the treatment, but like I said, I don't fully trust him.  By the way, I also have an extremely sensitive skin. But flushing is something that you can feel it coming from inside, so I'm not sure about the relationship

Thanks guys.

 

Well, I believe my derm will not say much and will keep increasing the dose. But I will contact him anyway.

 

At the end, it use to happen that I learn more about every problem throug internet. I don't know if some doctors avoid to tell you some information/side affects or if they don't really know how some things works. I have a long long history of skin problems. It's like my karma. (seb derm, atopic derm, rosacea P&P with telangiectatic and broken capillaris, folliculitis and now acne again!.....) I've been fighting with heavy skin problems during a decade and I've seen hundres of derms. (I'm not from US). Some derms have told me that my case is so hard that is like to write a book about it.

 

Anyway, I was expecticting some extra redness. But I'm getting some ugly spots with inflamed blood vessels and P&P that looks so similar to acne but is not acne. Is the same than when I have a Rosacea breakout. Plus, the occasional episodes of flushing now.

 

I'ts so confusing.

 

But for now, the only thing I want is to get rid off the cystic acne breakouts.

 

But well, I will see what can I do or I will look for another opinion, another derm.
