Common Questions and Answers about Isotretinoin for oily skin

accutane

Avatar n tn Thank you for your advise! I decided to have the mole removed. I have a new question that I feel confident you can answer. I have extremely oily skin. I have tried Retina A, and a sulfur wash. Neither one helped with the oil, they only made my pores appear smaller. My dermatologist suggested I take Isotretinoin. She said it will shrink my oil glands in my skin. I looked online and haven't seen any result to use this for treatment of oily skin.
Avatar n tn Hello, Seborrheic dermatitis is a common, inflammatory skin condition that causes flaky, white to yellowish scales to form on oily areas such as the scalp or inside the ear. It can occur with or without reddened skin.
Avatar m tn So the only option I have is to avoid triggers and wait for the Rosacea to get worse. But waiting for it to get worse is so difficult for me. Having said that, I am not really much concerned about the red part. I am very very very very concerned about the potential disfigurements of the nose. I understand that the extra growth tissue can be removed by laser.
Avatar f tn I do not apply any sort of makeup on my skin and try to keep it clean. I have very oily skin that I was able to control through isotretinoin however the acne hasn't gotten any better after a 3 month treatment. I am also underweight despite having a normal diet with my BMI being 17. I am really worried about my health issues, can someone please suggest something that might help!
Avatar m tn My pores are huge and i have oily leathery skin that is extremely dry. Ive tried tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, topicals, as well as dozen lotions, steroid creams, and moisturizers but none of them help, they cause more irritation and flaking. My skin stings and burns all the time, and swollen from the acne, it causes so much pain. It feels like insects are crawling in my skin. But i dont know what to do. Ive tried everything and i am at my wits end.

Avatar m tn Did your sticky skin ever go away? Any advice? I'm also on my third month and am experiencing this phenom.
Avatar f tn I just left my dermatologists office for skin and hair related issues and she told me that I am menopausal. She says she believes that my skin and hair problems may be due to menopause. Are these symptoms seen in menopause? I have very sticky skin. It started about eight months ago with just my hands and feet being sticky after washing, but has grown progressively worse. It has spread over my entire body and I am now sticky all of the time. My hands and feet are by far the worst.
Avatar m tn I don't know which topic to put this under because I have no idea what it is. I want to stress how important this is to resolve, as it's been affecting my life for a few years now. I am very self conscious and i have actually held back from going off to college just because of this. It affects my life tremendously. When I was about 16 years old I started to notice that my nose was getting oily. I always dabbed it off. It started to spread to my cheeks as time went on.
Avatar f tn Mine was totally fine until I started my third trimester....now it's extremely oily and I have patches of flaky skin that are raw red itchy and very oily....does anyone have some clue as to what causes this and what will make it go away!!??
Avatar f tn Hi, Isotretinoin (INN) is a medication used for the treatment of severe acne.Accutane is the most common trade name for this drug. Currently, isotretinoin continues to be used only after other acne treatments fail to produce results.
Avatar n tn 05% isotretinoin gel is rarely indicated as a suppressive treatment for widespread disfiguring sebaceous hyperplasia. Oral isotretinoin should be prescribed by a physician who is experienced in oral retinoid therapy and only for patients without contraindications.
Avatar f tn What can i use for oily skin & some.breakouts..
Avatar f tn Second baby was a boy. Had no greasy hair nor oily skin. My third was a boy and had no greasy hair nor oily skin. Im thinking im having a girl because her hormones and mine are raging. I feel so ugly. Ive never had greasy hair nor oily skin or acne when I was a teenager or pregnant except with my first girl. I dont know what to use. My face is sensitive already so I use minimal product. I also usually have beautiful natural skin so I dont use makeup except a little bronze.
Avatar f tn I dont remember the last time i had a pimple let alone multiple. Now my skin is so oily and i can see blackheads on my chin and forehead. I stopped using my nightly washes bc of the chemicals. I currently use clean n clear for sensitive skin and cera ve lotion. I need something stronger but safe! Im willing to mix random things up at home if anyone has any good suggestions! Thank u!
Avatar f tn i have extremely oily skin and i think its because i use my acne medications such as differin and duac but even though i wash my face 3 times a daii it is still oily and its worse during parties because i cant wash my face then..? wat should i doo..any herbal remedies as well?
634590 tn?1293774093 i want to discuss with you all my problem. As you know i took 20mg isotretinoin for 15 days and pain started in my right hip joint. Went to Arthopedic and he said it is infection. im now on antibiotics (one week on IV augmenten + oxidil and then on ciprofloxacin 500 twice) for last 5 weeks. Today i suddenly feel same kind of pain in my left groin (front of hip joint) . im wondering if there was infection in right hip joint how can that infection travel to my left joint even im on antibiotics.
470885 tn?1326329037 yes my skin is changing bad i normally have oily skin but now i have very bad oily skin and i break out bad zits like crazy the many joys of pregnancy
Avatar f tn I am 24 years old and have uneven skin tone near vaginal area and bumb. Please suggest me solution. Next year my marriage is thr. So i want quick and safety solution.
Avatar f tn I've never had acne but since I've been pregnant my face has been breaking out left & right. I wash my face every morning & every night as well with a face scrub from clinic & nothing is working.
6706619 tn?1391316843 its not a home remedy, but I had this same problem and tried so so much everything either made my skin too oily or too dry but I bought clean and clear advantage acne control, took the oily skin away, cleared my acne and made my skin super soft all the time!
Avatar m tn I have not been exposed to any more sun than usual recently. Proceeding this increase I undertook a course of isotretinoin for acne and then had some mild scarring resurfaced using a laser. Knowing this would leave my skin sensitive to the sun I took to using sunscreen. It could just be a coincidence but I cannot help but be suspicious that either the isotretinoin or the suncreen is associated with the surge in new moles.
20873371 tn?1556032506 I'd like to know if the derivatives of coconut oil are okay for acne prone skin, if coconut oil itself is highly comedogenic. I have really oily skin aside from the very edges of my jaw. Would anyone happen to know?
