Hi, I was on accutane for 5 weeks at 40mg a day at 80kg bodyweight. I decided to stop because of flushing and redness side effects that I was worried about becoming permanent. Its been a week since i stopped taking accutane and these side effects persist. Has anyone got any idea how long I can expect it to take for this problem to stop given my time taking and dosage? I had a minor problem with flushing/blushing before accutane and I'm very worried I might have caused permanent rosacea. Going to see my doctor in 2 weeks time but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
From what I've heard/read, redness of the cheeks is a common side effect of accutane. It normally goes away between one and three months after stopping a complete six/seven month course of accutane. Some people get even more redness, covering their entire face and part of their body. Not sure if this helps, but it is normal to experience redness. Hope it clears up for you soon x
