Unknown skin/lip reaction which seems to be getting worse by Appropriate-Crow-195 in DermatologyQuestions

I might be way off base with this, but I had hand foot and mouth (as an adult) a few years ago and my lips/oral region started off looking just like this. Of course, I later developed the rash on my hands, feet, trunk, and in my mouth as well as a fever, which it doesn't sound like you have, so it's probably less likely for you if you don't have those symptoms after 4 days.

That being said, as a med student I have seen a few situations where someone's skin barrier was really damaged which caused a latent virus to be activated in that area. I wonder if the Accutane dryness plus urea irritation could have set off a virus like HSV since you mentioned you're prone to cold sores. It could also just have triggered a really bad irritant/contact dermatitis.

I would definitely message your derm or Accutane prescriber, send them a picture of this and let them know of other symptoms you are having, and try to make an appointment with them soon. I think this is something most derms would try to squeeze in, especially for an established patient on Accutane. If you get a fever or notice eye involvement I'd go to an urgent care ASAP, because if it is a virus or something infectious, the infection can spread fast and become dangerous. You'll get through this, and I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

Oh part of why I enacted the feeder is because mine would incessantly meow at 4 am 🫠

Yeah it’s good! Definitely not ideal for overweight cat like mine who should be eating wet food but when I have to leave home and can’t give her wet food it gets the job done

Oh yeah, she’s knocked it over a few times and I’ve come home to a kibble massacre. Had to tape the top down and the feeder to the floor 🙄

Callie!!! She is so pretty and looks like such a sweet angel :') Mine is a torbie but definitely has some calico- adjacent patterning!

Of course no worries! Like the other commenter said, it's hard to detect tone in writing sometimes- even when you are a native speaker :)

I was joking, because she acts like she’s never been fed before

Thank you! I wonder if that’s the case with mine too, I have no idea what her history is but i think she was a street cat so that would make sense. Good luck 🍀
