lus4279 14 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) Okay so the past month or so, every time I have showered a red rash appears on my chest and side of my neck. It lasts about 40 minutes then disappears. It is only ever there when I shower and always in the exact same place and no where else. I tried showering with cooler water today and haven't used any shower gels or soap except conditioner which I washed backwards down my back so it wouldn't come in contact with my chest but yet its still there. Any idea whats causing iy and has anyone had it before? Its not itchy or its not bumpy just red for about 40 minutes then disappears until next time I shower. I have recently moved houses as well so I don't know if it could be something to do with the water? Im on my 6th month of Roaccutane and been taking 30mg daily.

LeftRidingCropInMortuary 12 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Yeah, it's just your skin being a bit sensitive. Chances are it's just where the water is hitting you as it falls from the shower. A change in water might be part of it, what with you moving house. And the neck especially can be sensitive. I'd carry on using the cooler water and avoiding harsh chemicals. Be gentle when you towel-dry too. Otherwise, unless it's really bothering you, just add it to the list of fun things roaccutane does to your body! I'd only be worried if it kept happening after you've come off roaccutane. Sudocrem (baby nappy cream) is quite good for soothing red sensitive skin. Good luck!
