Dry Skin Due To Isotretinoin Uses

2023-06-17 11:57:24
I am taking isotretinoin 20mg per day. My doctor recommended this when I had acne 3 years ago. My acne fixed but this year from January my acne is back severely. . Last month I had around 20-30 acne. These are all kind of acne. Nodular, Cystic etc. Currently I have only two acne. It's under the skin. I think it'll reduce in one or two weeks. Previously, I had very oily skin. But as I used Accutane for 1 month now, my skin became very dry. I'm planning to use it one more month (Total 2 Month) My face skin is peeling, I feel irritation around my neck area as it became dry as well. I was using "Plum Green Tea Mattifying" Moisturizer as I had oily skin. But as my skin turned into Dry, I would like to know if I should continue using this Moisturizer or change it? If I should change it, Please suggest one. Also, I'm using Niacinamide and Tretinoin 0.5% every alternative days. Shall I keep using these as well?

Stop tretinoin. Tea tree also dries up the skin, you'll  need a different moisturizer. As for isotretinoin,  it is supposed to be used for  a minimum of 7 to 8 months. If you use or used it for anytime less than that, it is bound to recur
