Yes I have an itchy face and ugh sometimes I just want to scratch my whole face. Usually gets worse after I take the accutane or wash my face and put the moisturizer on. It's itching now and ugh. My scalp itches too and I just started using head and shoulders for that.

I'm doing my second course of Accutane after 10 years and this time around my main side effect is a crazy itchy scalp and face even after countless moisturizing. I'm also only on week two of the treatment. I'm guessing this doesn't go away until the 6 months are up? Does anyone else have any info about this, anything that helps with the itching? I've been massaging my scalp with conditioner and moisturizing my face and body twice a day but it doesn't help much. Should I use a dandruff shampoo?
