Facial flaring after accutane

[Guest guest]

I took the drug Accutane over 2 years ago to treat persistent acne. During

the course of my treatment I noticed my face would get red and hot most of

the time. Things like a warm room or slight exertion would trigger it. My

derm told me it would go away after treatment, but it did not. In fact, it

has gotten very severe and via my photoderm doctor and this support group, I

have come in to contact with a number of others who are in the same

situation after taking Accutane.

My doctor wants to know how many others this has happened to, wants to take

that information and share it with specialists in the field. He is most

interested in writing a major journal article about it to get this

information out to the medical community. Additionally, I have heard that

Dr. Nase has taken interest in this topic as well.

If you have a red face with hot burning sensations, and think it may have

occured after using Accutane, please notify me and I will give your name to

my doctor. He is one of the leading photoderm doctors in the country.

Once this information is made clear to the medical community, research will

be done. This may in turn help all of us that are suffering from this

disorder.

Thank you in advance,

Tracey Sims
