I was put on roaccutane I've been on for 5 months at 40mg a day.

Last week I was told I would need extractions done and would take about 30mins. Safe to say when I went this week I was there for hour and 40min. Was really painful and I'm now red raw. I had it done all over face apart from nose and chin.

As you can see from the picture that's before and after the after picture is 3 days after extractions and redness not going at all and very sore.

Anything I can use to reduce redness. I'm UK based so would need to be something from a UK drug store. Thanks.

I'm in the UK and have these red marks so will be looking for suggestions too. At the moment I have taken to using Clearasil face wash and Mask for blemishes and marks which is helping a little. I wouldn't use it if your skin is sensitive though it might hurt.

I've just sent the pictures to my derm and she said having the extractions done whilst on accutane can be hard on my skin so she's sending me a prescription to my pharmacy in the morning and in the mean time she said add a layer of sudocrem over the effected areas so fingers crossed it reduces the red.marks a little.
