Hello guys, I am finishing my first month of my accutane treatment, and about 2 weeks ago I started getting eczema on my hips, arms and belly. I never had eczema before my whole life. My facial acne is doing a lot better since starting the treatment but the eczema is getting pretty bad and I was wondering if anyone has had the same experience before? Does the eczema go away after I will stop my treatment?

 

I just started moisturizing my body and will ask my derm for a topical treatment to keep it under control.

Yeah I got some eczema from time to time during accutane. Most has faded, still have some but doesn't bother me. The eczema I have now also may be related to differin.

I think you'll do fine :)

Good luck!

I had a few small areas of eczema too when I took Accutane. I can't remember what my derm gave me to treat them with, but once Accutane was done I've never had that problem again.
