Raf97 7 Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) Hey! I'm on accutane since 5 months ago and I still have to take the pills for at least another month. However, by month 3 I started having strange episodes on my face. At one point of the day my cheecks start to be red and I feel a burn sensation. This situation normally lasts 1 hour and half, more and less. It happens at least once a day, but very often it happens more times. I don't know if it is rosacea, I don't get anymore pimples and I don't have any other side effect, but this sucks and it's terrible to see (moreover, I also have hyperpigmentation on my cheeks and when my skin starts to be red it seems horrible!!) What is it? How can I defeat it? Could accutane produce this situation? Edited February 27, 2016 by Raf97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oli girl 178 Share Posted May 3, 2016 raf97- I am not sure if you still come on acne.org, but you are not alone with Accutane induced flushing. I advise you to look at this link and browse Lamarr1986 posts amongst others! I wish I had an answer, but I don't.http://www.acne.org/messageboard/topic/193804-post-accutaneminocycline-facial-flushing/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
