I'm on my first week of accutane, and haven't been noticing any changes up till today. Last night my nose was really itchy for some reason. Anyways, I fell asleep and when I woke up, I saw bunch of flaky skin on my nose. Then I noticed that my nose was smaller. Not dramatic, but definitely noticeable.

Intrigued by what happened, to make sure I wasn't just imagining things, I googled and saw several other people reporting the same thing. This post for example. Anyone else also seeing some changes in their nose?

My theory:
-Smaller pore/Drier skin -> less swell
-Dries up nose cartilage? (like how it affects your joints)

Same!!
I thought the same thing.
I noticed it around the same time most of my nose blackheads came out, so i think for me at least it was a combination of the blackheads themselves lodged in my nose (cute) leaving and therefor the inflammation receding.
