Hi everyone :) before going on accutane I was on this site 24/7 Lol but I never created an account. Im starting this post because I feel there is something weird going on with my face.

 

((A little background.)) I was on accutane last year for about 4 months on 20 mg a day. The side effects were too strong for me and decided to stop taking it back in December 2012. Most of the side effects are gone now. My oily skin is slowly coming back but i havent had a breakout. Super happy about that :) Well lately I've noticed some bruising on my face. While on accutane I did bruise easily but that was if I picked at my face I know I know not good :( but lately I wake up with bruises on my cheeks. It doesn't hurt but when I feel it it feels as though there is a hard lump under my skin. One of my cheeks is looking pretty lumpy and bruised. I'm constantly being asked if Im ok because it looks like I got punched :(

I'm not saying any of this IS because I took accutane but I'm just curious if anyone else has ever gone through something like this?? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I am not sure about bruising on the face, are you sure they aren't spider veins or it thinned your skin? You mention lumps???? Maybe you need to see a physician.

I really think that if possible you should see a doctor about this, just to be on a safe side! Could it be very deep, under the skin cysts? I was on nearly the exact same dosage and length of time as you, but I haven't had any bruising effects. I hope you can figure this out!

I did a full treatment last year at 80 mg. I finished my P/x almost a year ago and since then ..

I have never noticed any abnormal bruising on me.
