I've been on accutane since the beginning of November and my skin has never looked better, up until now everything has been great but the past 3-4 weeks i've noticed my body gets scratchy in random spots almost as if I was allergic to something? I've taken benadryl and it helps it.. I am also breaking out, not a whole lot but I probably have 10-12 pimples. My Dr. said she has never heard of anything like that which I dont know if thats crap or what?
I need some advice?

Hi, dont stress much. The itchy skin on your body is most likely a reaction to overly dry skin/a form of eczema/dermatitis. I was on60 mg a day which was way too high for my weight and as a result a few months in my arms got scratchy, itchy, sometimes scaly, and sometimes so bad they'd bleed. i know moisturizing your body is a pain in the ass but getting a really rich moisturizer would be very worth your while. I used Suuthe skin repair on everything and i can't say enough amazing things about it. About the breakouts, it happens. i started my second course of accutane for mild acne in october anomy acne was a million times worse the entire time i was on accutane....ENTIRE time.....it wasnt until after i stopped things started slowing down. I'm about 1 month post, and I'm hoping i can now start working on the scars from the last course. hang in there, but it does happen..youre not crazy and not completely out of the ordinary. just be gently and give your body some TLC and you'll be fine! best of luck
