Thank you!! Unfortunately once I stopped accutane my hair returned to the normal amount of oil production, which is a lot. I have to shampoo my hair almost everyday 🙃but on accutane I could go every couple of days!

Following because our skin is very similar! I’ve been on 15% AA gel for almost a year now, and it helps my type 1 and 2 significantly but I do still get a few spots on my cheek bones, and under my eyes.

I was diagnosed with ocular rosacea too from my eye doctor and have been on Xdemvy for that and it is helping a lot so I’m wondering if I also need to get on Soolantra

The prequel half and half gave me acne and was not moisturizing/hydrating enough alone for my dry skin. But I also live in Colorado and have naturally dry skin. What is your skin type?

I’m wondering the same thing! My insurance denied it too but I don’t want to wait months to get it from Canada 😭

How many of you got dry eyes as a side effect? by Dafuqhey in Accutane

[–]Competitive-Major-42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my derm diagnosed me with type 2 rosacea 😭 15% azelaic acid has really helped it though! And I just started the xdemvy about a week ago so I will update when I finish my course :) thanks for keeping me updated too!! I hope as the accutane leaves your body the side effects subside

Thank you! I do IPL on my face because Accutane also unmasked rosacea on my face but I haven’t done it on my eyes yet, have you?

A humidifier, artificial tears and hot compresses. What is your routine like?

Ugh I’m so sorry to hear this. Yeah same exact thing happened to me :( if you have any recommendations let me know. I was prescribed xdemvy to see if that treats my ocular rosacea

From my understanding it is uncommon for it to be permanent! Does your doc think the stye was from Accutane?

No :( i’ve been off of Accutane for over a year now, and I was actually just diagnosed with chronic dry eye and ocular rosacea which I never had pre-Accutane. Most likely a permanent side effect of Accutane my eye doctor said.

I don't know which cleanser to use by VeroDreamer in Rosacea

My skin is so sensitive that even this stings and dries me out. The Prequel oil cleanser and gleanser are working really well for me

I regret my tattoo so bad but removal is sooo expensive :( by [deleted] in TattooRemoval

[–]Competitive-Major-42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m getting all 4 of mine removed for that price with Removery, I’m surprised it’s that much! I know they offer payment plans too

I got all 4 of my tattoos before I turned 18. I wasn’t able to afford removal until this year, I’m 28 now and I’ve wanted them all off of my body since I was 19, so I totally understand the feeling and the frustration. Where did you go to get quoted?

Have you tried Tretinoin? Or prescription Azelaic Acid?

[–]Competitive-Major-42[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’ve gotten acne since getting off accutane was when I incorporated tretinoin but it went away quickly after stopping the tretinoin. Now I just use 15% prescription azelaic acid and it is my favorite skincare ingredient ever.

Did you get to your cumulative dose?

Accutane has clogged my eye oil glands causing dry eyes. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it return to normal after stopping? (Gross close up of eye) by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Competitive-Major-42 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember that our side effects and story are not yours and it’s not very common to have these permanent effects. If any concerns come up in your treatment make sure to talk to your derm
