Okay so prior to taking Accutane I'd only have one or two really stubborn pimples and that was it. After finishing Accutane my face looks like this. I know it's nasty, that's why I'm hoping for some advice or someone else this has happened to or what anyone even thinks this is? It's like a gazillion bumps with a few big ones. You can really only notice it in sunlight and at certain angles. I went to my derm and he prescribed me stuff but it isn't working at all. Help!?
@prayingforcure I think I did about a 5 month course 80 mg a day. It's been about 6 months and these showed up 3 months ago and have been constant. I just don't get it because my skin was NEVER like this BEFORE Accutane.
I have very similar skin to this and I have no idea how to treat it. Mines started from a topical retinoid. What did your dermatologist give you for this? Did they just come out of the blue?
I suggest looking up "facial keratosis pilaris" and "pityrosporum folliculitus" and see if you feel there are any similarities there.
Yepp came out of nowhere after Accutane and I extensively looked up keratosis pilaris. I'm pretty sure that's what it is. He gave me an internal and external antibiotic and then a cream for eczema/keratosis. Hasn't helped at all. I'm sooo mad. Took Accutane to get rid of acne and it gave me this, which is worse cause it won't go away.
