Suffering From Skin Problem After Accutane
I took accutane in from fall 2008 to about april 2009 and now since about feb 2010 i have had this skin condition wear everything hurts my skin and it turns red easily. It just randomly started. I can t wear things right out of the dryer and i need to air it out for atleast a day before i wear things. I ve always had a shirt preference wear i only wear underarmor type shirts but this is getting tough becasue everytime i wear things it burns while i m wearing it unless i air it out for a day. i don t know what to do about this.

Hi! rsh3018,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Accutane can make your skin dry esp those areas which have more of sebaceous glands.Usually patients doesn't have this kind of problem as you are describing ,so consult a dermatologist for the same who can judge you clinically.
Take care,
Dr.chawda
