Hair loss is also known as a side effect to Roaccutane, so far I haven’t experienced any major hair loss (and hopefully will never ever go through that), but my scalp does feel kinda itchy while on the course. And yes, all the stuff you hear about your skin being dry after taking Roaccutane is indeed true, especially so on the lips.
My solution? Use a moisturizing shower cream and apply a generous amount of mositurizer daily. Dove shower cream is one of the best shower cream I’ve ever came across, I used to have dry skin even before I started on Roaccutane and ever since I used Dove I won’t let go of it! It’s working pretty fine for me until now
I’ve always had a practice of applying lip balm before sleep so that my lips won’t feel dry in the morning, now I make it a point to apply it several times throughout the day, but even with that my lips still tend to flake a little. Dryness near above my eyelids near the head of the eyebrow area is rather obvious and they flake quite a fair bit, I have to resist the urge of scratching and peeling the dry flakes off.
Today there is no sign of any new acne popping out, how I hope it’ll stay that way from now on. Sighz.
It sounds like you’re well on your way to clear skin.
Just stay positive. You might experience a two week initial breakout but after that it will just be less pimples every day.
Good luck.
Thanks Paul, that is very encouraging indeed
I am currently experiencing some breakout and even though not MASSIVE, it still still kinda gets my mood down.
Oh well, shall be patient and hope for the best!
