I'm an 18 year old male.
a little over 2 months on accutane (claravis 40mg a day).
I use a cerave moisturizer with spf30 and avoid the sun with a passion everyday.
I have been experiencing facial flushing (especially when nervous/stressed)
My derm says it's not rosacea

Is this normal for accutane?

How long until redness fades?

Should I be worried about rosacea?

What kind of scars do I have? (When I look up close in the mirror my scars just look like red/dark marks but from a distance they look like holes)

I think this can actually happen unfortunately. And I'm pretty sure it's actually listed as a possible side effect.
What I'd do is search google or the search bar above for 'facial flushing accutane' and you'll see your not alone.

Did the flushing end up going away after you finished accutane?
