I'm 10 weeks into my accutane treatment and my dermatologist just upped my dosage. But I just noticed these bumps on the back of my hand!! Wtf is this tell me it's not eczema ugh man
Thats my left hand and those are cat scratches.
But seriously has anyone else had this side effect? They weren't itchy until I read someone say they were itchy and now I think I'm just imagining it to be itchy. They're tiny and hardly noticeable.
Thank you so much in advance for any replies I might receive. It's a big help!
3 hours ago, FemaleOnAccutane said:I got them too! My derm said it was eczema and prescribed an ointment that really helped.
But I thought eczema is chronic - so it never goes away or will consistently pop up throughout your life? Is that the same case? Or is it just caused by accutane and once we're off of the drug it will go away? I don't want to be stuck with a different skin issue because I was trying to solve the initial one.
@lianyewest hello it has been a while since you post this and I came across your post on Google while using a photo scanner using my hand. I have the same worries now. It appeared just this morning, both of my hands and as you said, it isn't itchy or anything, they're just little bumps. I'm wondering if the bumps you have are still there and what medication are you currently using. Your post interest me a lot since we have similarities like having cat scratches and these lil bumps. If you could reply to this, I would really appreciate it.
