MrsZ, it has been almost 2 weeks sense my last accutane pill, sense then the extreme redness has reduced but I still look much redder than I was looking pre-accutane consumption. Are you saying that...

Hello Complex Issues!   Demodex mites are also found in steriod induced rosacea. It would make sense that all those steriod creams you were prescribed led to an overpopulation of them. Also, the ...

Mrs. Z, does alcohol consumption affect mites on the skin? No, not that I am aware of. But, alcohol can cause flushing, flares and inflammation that leads to breakouts. Although in my experienc...

Honestly, I do not remember the specifics of my Accutane side effects. I just know that from the point I used steriod creams to a year after Accutane my skin was unpredictable. One thing I can say is ...
