I was on accutane for a little longer than 3 months and had great success. My skin has stayed great since being on tane. However... my biggest complaint is that my hands and feet seem to turn red a lot of the time, its almost as though they are blushing - they get really warm and I can feel the blood rushing into them at times.

 

This is so strange because I never had this happen before tane. Anyone else with this same experience?

My 14 year old son has been on acutane for 3-4 months and his hands are bright red all the time and itis gradually getting worse. It use to be only while he was exercising and nowits all the time. His dermatologist says its not the medicine. Anyone else ever have this problem and if so will it get better after getting off the medicine? We are starting to run tests looking for other problems causing this. Thanks-
