Using heat pads whilst on accutane

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience of using heat pads whilst taking accutane? I'm talking about the kind of 'peel n stick' ones that heat up once they are exposed to air and you stick them on to your body. I tend to get shoulder / neck pain and they really help, but I'm a bit hesitant to use them once I start accutane, as I understand the skin can become a lot more sensitive.
So.. reaching out - has anyone used them while on accutane? Or if you think it would be fine or a terrible idea?
Thanks!

I used heat pads whilst on accutane and my skin felt tingly and numb , I'm not sure I would recommend it , but with the sore backs im having due to accutane they would be really good right now ! :new_smiley_73: ..

Argh, yeah that sounds like not a great idea, darn! Thanks for letting me know :) I guess I'll just have to find a way of strapping a hot water bottle to myself or something!
