Im currently nearing the end of 3 months on Isotretinion, and starting to develop a rash on my arms, stomach and inside of my thigh. Starting to get a bit worried and wondering if anyone else had this and what they did to remove it? Ive been using e45 spray moisturiser on my arms and putting sudocreme on after its dried. I have scratch marks from where Ive itched at it. Pictures attached.

Other side effects Ive had are dry lips, dry face, muscle aches, eyesight being a little worse towards night time, and recently come down with flu.

Hey I had that. Started with my arms and then just exploded to the rest of the body. I was at a festival and i guess the sun and heat tricked it. I stayed out of the sun for a week, kept my body moisturized with a lotion with a heavy dose of 'oil' 40% (yes you can use oly products of moments my derm told me) It cleared up within 2 days and went back to being 'normal' dry iso skin.

Regarding other side effect: Yes. Please see my post:
