Hello all,

So, I am about 4 months in on accutane; first 3 months I was on 30mg/day, and this previous month I was on 40mg/day. Before this past month I noticed a very slight increase in sweating in my eyebrows. This month It has definitely increased. I can't find too much about this on this site or any other site. I have contacted my derm and waiting for a response, but I was hoping maybe someone could tell me if this is potentially a permanent side effect? There is absolutely no history of hyperhidrosis in my family and I have never had this issue before. Has anyone had this side effect and it gone away upon discontinuation of accutane?

Thanks for any responses.

Thanks macleod! I had seen that thread before. I was hoping to mainly hear from people who had maybe experienced this side effect and it going away after stopping the medication.
