Ok so I've been on accutane for 4 months now, and around the 3 month mark I had a red rash that appeared in circle-ish area's on the backs of my knees (both legs), I was able to treat it with hydrocortisone cream and aqueous cream, and they seem to have faded, however now I am getting a similar thing on my groin/thigh area, and it's happening on both legs around the exact same place... On my right thigh I have got a completely circular red ring with pinkish inflamation in the middle (also in the middle the skin gets dry and peely), it's also slightly raised... Anyway a picture says a thousand words.

Sorry for the lighting and quality of the picture, I only had my laptop... I also apologize for those who may not particularly want to look at my groin area lol, but I tried my best to cover it up.

EDIT: I should also mention, if it helps, that I am 21, Male (obviously), and not currently sexually active, so there's no way it could be a sexual disease, last time I had sex was 3 years ago (TMI, sorry, but facts are facts, and they help )

It could be many things (e.g. dermatitis, fungus, irritation, psoriasis, etc...) I would recommend going to your dermatologist and getting it checked out to be sure because I can only guess what it is from a picture.

Could it have something to do with taking extra pills? On several occasions I have had anywhere from 60 - 140mg at once (I'm on 40mg/day), and I noticed this started happening after I had taken extra pills, also I had another initial breakout, most likely also due to taking a dosage higher than my prescribed dosage.

...So has anyone had anything simmilar, and could share with me what it is? Cause I'd really like to know...

Does it weep or anything? It looks really dark like a pyogenic granuloma. I don't think it's a good idea for you to be upping your dose as high as you are even if its just on certain days. It's obviously causing a reaction. Call your doctor.

No it doesn't weep, and I highly doubt it's a pyogenic granuloma, when I say it's slightly raised, I mean VERY VERY slightly raised, infact it's almost flat, you can only tell that it's raised barely by running your finger over it.
