Posted by: @Dan Have you ever tried Azelaic Acid? That's a pretty safe, topical thing you could try. I agree that malaria meds sounds pretty hardcore. Also, do people notice that you go red? Or is th...

@thomas-m-2 this is a long shot because it’s such an old post but wondering if you’re still on the forum as I had a question regarding mepracine

I’ve had post accutane flushing for around 6/7 years now. It’s gotten better over time but is something I struggle with on a daily basis, especially at work where I go bright red when under any sort o...

Just give it a try eating what u want, I very much doubt the odd chocolate bar will have much of an impact. I find that alcohol has a big impact on my spots even after accutane

Hey, I had very bad flushing in 30mg per day (looked like I was sunburnt sometimes). It started within a few days of taking the tablets and lasted the whole time I was on accutane. Unfortunately, alth...

Yeah I tried everything, I saw a dermatologist when I was 17 and he recommended accutane but my parents heard all the stories of suicide etc and didn’t want me to go on it. looking back I wish I would...

Ultimately it’s only a decision you can make. I ended accutane about 2 months ago, I’m a 34 year old male and was completely sick of getting bad spots at my age. I had some bad times on accutane but i...

Be patient, I know it’s not easy but least if you carry on the full course you’ll know if it works either way.

Hey, for you guys who have finished accutane, were u completely clear of any new spots at least a month before you finished? My my derm is insisting on this when I’ve been on the drug since August 17...

Hi, I’ve been on (ro) accutane for 8 months now and been pretty much clear since month 1 with just the occasional spot every couple of weeks. My derm says to “cure” my acne I should stay on it until ...

I’ve been on 30mg per day and got some slight pain and stiffness in my knees. It went after a few weeks

I’m still red but not as bad as months 1-3. I came off the tablets for a week or so over Christmas and redness calmed down quite a lot so hopefully a few weeks/moths after I finish, things will go bac...

Good luck man, I’ve been on 30mg for 6 months. Worse side effects came in months 2 for me but initially breakout wasn’t too bad at all

I have the same issue mate. On 30mg p/day and my skin turned a pinky/red colour within a couple of weeks. Just hit 6 months and redness is slightly better but flushing still a major problem. Really ge...

My derm said it was fine, just stick to 3-4 per week. To be honest I’ve drank too much at times which I wouldn’t recommend but tests have always come back fine

Hey, this thread hasn’t been updated in a while, thought I would see how everyone is getting on? Im nearly 6 months in now so fingers crossed not much longer to go (derm said 6-8 months). Still have ...

Hi mate, I’ve been on 30 mg p/day for 6 months and had flushing pretty much the whole time. My face has been a shade of red as well. Flushing normally worse in the evening, after eating, when surround...

So, not the nicest of subjects but I’ve been on Isotretinoin for just over 3 months now at 30mg per day. im currently suffering from really hard stools which are causing quite a lot of bleeding when I...

Good luck!
