Hey guys, I've been on accutane twice and had high doses at 90mg. The last course was 6 months ago.

 

Ever since the 2nd course I've had persistent redness on my chin, cheeks, and nose. It is kind of like rosacea.

 

I was wondering if anyone has any moisturizers or laser treatment suggestions? Not really wanting to try anything cheap or go back to the derm, they're morons

 

I hate uploading pics but here

The pic is waayoversaturated, it looks 2x worse than it appears.And yeah I get that its not as bad as some others problems, but I did my time, I had shitty acne for 3 years

Also with sun exposure it gets even more red...ugh anyone have any good moisturizers?

Could try a vitamin E cream and start taking vitamin D3 along with vitamin E. Would definitely promote skin healing. Also if your skin is super dry try using a thin layer of jojoba oil at night. Works wonders for many people, helps a bit for me but mines pretty severe.

What's your opinion about the Accutane, is it worth the risks?

Woah.. and I'm just sitting here, with pimple in every inch on my body, looking at your goddamn perfect skin, and asking myself how can you be so ungrateful ... say thanks to Accutane..
