sweet.girl 0 Share Posted December 17, 2008 So I have this painful hand rash from accutane. I was told it could be a side effect and it is. I went to the derm tonight but he was talking to me about all this other stuff about accutane that i completely forgot to get a prescription for the rash and now I dont go back for two weeks!!Is there any at home cures that help, I find hand cream makes my hands burn worse!!

Silvitni 0 Share Posted December 17, 2008 after I got a bad handrash my dose was decreased, but also because they didn't see the wanted improvement..it got better, but sometimes it gets bad again and then I use "Elisabeth Arden - eight hour cream" and I have had a problem with moiusterisers because they seem to burn, but this worked really well.

Max- 6 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Guess you were on a pretty high dose eh..? If that is the case then lower the dose to 5 to 10mg else you may suffer from permanent side effect like eczema for life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweet.girl 0 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 Guess you were on a pretty high dose eh..? If that is the case then lower the dose to 5 to 10mg else you may suffer from permanent side effect like eczema for life.I am on 80mg... and why do you say that?? I just said I had the rash on my hands. I've heard alot of people had that. Also I am just wondering everyone suggests in random posts lower the dosage or increase it. I dont have any say over the dosage. how does that work? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
