accutane

Avatar n tn But it is excruciating pain and I’m convinced the accutane caused this even though I haven’t been on it in 2 years. Help.
Avatar n tn It was a nightmare start for college when I broke out in cystic acne and was put on the drug accutane in december. The anxiety, skin problems, caused me to shut down socially, become depressed and avoid other people. It was a bad 8 months. Since I finished accutane things have turned around for me. The new self confidence has led me to score multiple new friends as well as a cute girlfriend. I am now extroverted from being introverted in my depressed months.
Avatar m tn 25 first 6months, 0.5 mg for one year and 1 mg for 1 year till today), In october 2016 my derm put me on accutane 10 mg and minoxiline(100mg) for treating my mild acne, I had been drinking heavily for 5 days before starting my accutane course, 10 days into the course, I started to have Gyno(Unilateral, right breast with a movable tender lump), I dropped accutane and minoxiline and also propecia after 23 days.
Avatar n tn Second, hand peeling and hand products have nothing to with acne. Third, the side-effects of Accutane are, in my experience, rarely of ever bad enough to stop the medication, especially after three months. Having said all that, I would add that you seem to be doing pretty well, but I can't tell from your description whether the forehead symptoms are a different rash (like eczema r seborrhea) or a side-effect of acne medication.
Avatar n tn My 15-year old son is in his 4th month of Accutane. He just completed his 3rd day of football practice and is experiencing severe pain in his hips. He insists that the pain is not muscular. (He is an avid cyclist and has ridden over 100 miles on his bicycle and competed in Olympic distance triathlons, so he understands muscular-related pain.) So, what could be causing the hip pain and/or do you think that there is a high probability that it is related to the Accutane? Thanks.
Avatar m tn t know, is that Accutane is a highly toxic chemotherapeutic agent and can permanently change the body in a variety of ways. Accutane in some patients, can cause permanent erectile dysfunction and low libido even after the medication is discontinued. Accutane can also cause permanent depression and joint pain, along with many other side effects.
Avatar n tn I know every summer since HS (I am now a senior in college) that I would break out in the same symptoms (very itchy and red bumps - no pus or anything like that) not only on my face but all over, but especially on my face. My mom said she never noticed, but of course I did! Anyway, my sister was a lifeguard and told me that she had the same problem being outside but also having to constantly re-applying on sunblock and sweating.
Avatar f tn So yesterday I waxed mu upper lip with those hair removal strips things, not knowing that I shouldn't do that while I'm on accutane. It probably stripped the skin off and now I'm left with a HUGE bright red mustache above my lips, and It hasn't gotten better since last night. I tried ice and some creams but nothing seems to be working. I don't even know if it's an allergy or a burn and if it's even going to heal! How can I get rid of it fast?
Avatar m tn Freshman year of college, I had no issues with these headaches anymore and felt great until I started taking 80mg accutane to treat my severe acne. The day after I started taking it, I went for a very short run (I was still a runner) and I noticed my endurance was completely gone. An hour after the run, I ate dinner and went to get some school work done and I started feeling incredibly hyper, then it felt like I was going crazy, my vision started getting hazy and I felt like I was high on weed.

Avatar m tn In 2004 i took accutane against my accne. I took a regular cure for 7 months and then stopped. A few months after i stopped i noticed that i looked much MUCH better then i have ever done before, skin color, eyes, hair, body odor, everything changed to normal for me. Then i noticed that i could read articles, watch movies and understand pretty much everything. When i talked to people it was like i saw the words in front of me so i knew what i was going to say all the time.

Avatar n tn Did a LOT of drinking in college, some steroid usage while working out heavily back then, took Accutane while younger as well...all contributing factors to elevated enzymes, but it seams that several years later is odd that these would show up?? (I'm only 25 BTW) Recently I have been eating horribly and barely working out...as a result of this cholesterol was slightly elevated.(I'm wondering if that could effect levels? i.e.
Avatar m tn Antibiotics and other topical have not worked well enough and the dermatologist is recommending that I go on accutane. I have an app. about it in several weeks. My father had severe acne until he took accutane for 3 months at a high dose without recieving any negative side effects, which cleared up 90 percent of the acne. My mother didnt have acne. I am ready to go on accutane, but the thing is that I do submission wrestling.
Avatar m tn weight loss ( I was up to 160 right before accutane, lost 20-25 pounds in less than 2 months right after I stopped accutane, and am down to 120 currently) I feel like I have no muscle or fat on me. I'm always hungry but I can't gain a pound.
Avatar n tn I am 20 years old I was using accutane for 6 months, I was supposed to have a small surgery in my pelvis while on the drug but my doctor told me to wait and he explained that no surgery should be performed because the drug does indeed interfere with wound healing in fact he recommended to get the surgery 6 months after I have been off the drug but you should definitely ask her doctor/surgeon about it and get a better opinion ...wish you and your daughter the best.
Avatar m tn I am 19 years old, I have been on Accutane twice. The first time for 7 months (80mg a day) and the second time for 11 months (80mg) a day. Ever since I've taken Accutane I noticed my face is extremely irritable. It gets red, REALLY red, like a tomato for absolutely no reason. I will lean over and my face will be blushed and hot by the time i get up straight. When i go to the gym or even lift something mildly heavy, I get red.
Avatar f tn ve been looking for articles regarding the use of accutane in patients with keloid/hypertrophic scarring, but all I can seem to find are horror stories of people taking accutane and going and having laser treatment/dermabrasion resulting in keloid formation. I would never do that to my skin during such a delicate time! I just want to know what to expect of my keloid prone skin *while taking* accutane. I can't find anything on the subject! My question is...
Avatar m tn Other necessary precautions are to avoid exposure to UV rays, avoid too much alcohol, and not to take tetracycline antibiotics whilst on Accutane or for 5 weeks afterwards. Female Accutane patients must use two forms of contraception whilst on Accutane and for 5 weeks afterwards. Male patients do not need to abstain from unprotected sex but must not donate blood in case it is given to a pregnant women.

546892 tn?1214525401 Before begining treatment with Accutain, an individual should discuss about his condition with the health care provider for the possible accutane benefits and side effects in order to get it clear whether the treatment is right. Accutain is used in the treatment of the severest of acne cases which haven't responded to all other types of acne treatments.
