im on accutane and i have redness/pinkish skin on my cheeks and nose thats just always there and is worse after a shower (i take cold ones) or if i stay in the sun a while... i dont flush though and h...

Yo dude, I'm doing ok man, yourself?   L-carnitine I presume you mean? I try it every now and again because the science is there but long term it doesn't seem to do alot?   I'm taking 480 mg...

P.s. this is why I don't hang around these boards anymore....I and others who have experienced side effects post tane have learn't how our bodies respond to particular supplements, I was advising you ...

P.s. just as an additional note, I don't believe accutane alters the telomere length, some of 'us' have had this tested for. I simply (well it isn't a simple issue but there you go) blieve our immune ...

Hey Rob,   I disagree with Oil King. Your anxiety may be INCREASING your symptoms or giving you a heightened belief in them, but they probably are real. All of the things that you listed I have...

Nick,   Like I said I wouldn't touch antis. Your derm sounds useless. From what you are saying it sounds like accutane just exacerbated your flushing. The problem with having bad acne and flus...

Hey Oil King,   Sorry for the delay. I'm going to end up asking you more questions than I answer, but once you respond then I can be more helpful haha. Do you only flush in the evening? How lo...

Nick,   Sorry for the delay, but I don't check all that frequently. Looks like Shantelle and Oli Girl answered your questions, but I'll throw in my two cents as well. How long have you had a t...

Jack,   Agree that you shouldn't automatically point to accutane for anything health related post tane, but it wouldn't really make a difference either way as it shouldn't alter the way you look ...

thanks a ton shantelle your advice is always very helpful   Nick,   I didn't go back and look at your posts, but were you using BP after Accutane or Minocycline? If Accutane, I definitel...

Hi A new start   All of us on this forum thread will likely be able to identify with what you are feeling. It is amazing how much Accutane side effects can significantly effect one's life. It do...

Has anyone in this thread ever read "The Inflammation Syndrome" by Jack Challem or similar works? The premise is that the Western diet is overloaded with omega-6 fatty acids, which are the biochemica...

Just a question about vitamins. I'm a pretty serious bodybuilder(not huge roid monster, but still lifting 5days a week). The thing is that I therefore probably would benefit from taking multivitamins....

  Nick1990,   Here's the thing about the term rosacea. It basically is a catch all for any facial redness condition so yes I would say you have accutane induced flushing just like most of u...

TyJac,   You really should stop using accutane unless you think its worth risking a shitload of side effects. Are you on accutane to help with redness or acne? It wasn't really clear to me afte...

Hey Oli Girl, Lamarr,   How have things been? I have been meaning to check in for awhile now.   Overall, I think things are getting worse now rather than better unfortunately. The flushi...

Shantelle,   I think I may have confused you. I still have bad daily flushing (heat, stress, exertion). It has been the same for years now. Not really better or worse. I only really experienc...

Hey Oli Girl! I have just been working and kind of just living with my sides lately. If things continue at their current levels I think I am just going to ride it out for now and just live with them....

So what's the general consensus on what's gonna help with this flushing? I've been to my derm about this and she just dismissed it. Im going again on Wednesday and I'm determined to not leave the room...

Hey Soul, Lamarr, Oli Girl, & Halfpipe,   How are things going for you all? I hope everything is good, but I just wanted to get updated.

The highest dose for me has been 300mg, due to my weight. Yes, I have been flush free. I even stopped it for 2 wks to see and the flushing came back, started back up and it was gone. So for me plaquen...

Myleastfavorite   I have been on it almost for a month too,has not kicked in for flushing/redness yet but honestly its only been a about a month and these drugs are weird and kick in randomly &nb...

Damn this shit is still ruining my life 7months past accutane. And now its gettn hotter outside which means, hotter in stores, home and schools. What the fuck did I do 2 deserve this. fuck   And ...

seattle r u still on plaquenil..how did it work for you never head updates   and I was on doxy for 3 months and it did not do anything positive for redness/flushing for me   I was on plaqu...
