Accutane Question- starting week 3

[dp13368 0]

I am on starting my 3rd week of accutane- first week 40mg/day 2nd week 80 mg/day.

The only real problem I have had so far is severely dry lips.

My question is- on my nose there are dark brown spots in every pore that are pretty visible. Im not sure what this is... Has anyone else experience this and/or have any idea what this is (or is it just something like black heads coming to the surface) ??

Thanks for the help in advance

i dont think they blackheads but could they be freckles?

See, it sounds like blackheads to me.

I have the exact same thing. Looks like a ton of blackheads (that are smaller than usual blackheads before my accutane days).

I am also on the third week. Started from 30mg/day, now at 50mg/day.

I tried to take pictures but it is too fine/detailed of an area to show up.

They are pretty much in every pore in and around my nose even on the sides. They are level with the skin it seems like maybe slightly under but it doesnt seem like something that you could squeeze out if you tried. Anyone have ideas what they are, what to do about them, or if it's something I should worry about?

They really sound like blackheads to me, especially from their location.

Don't pick at them. You could scar.

If you are on accutane they will disappear.
