I took accutane when I was 17 for my acne. I am now 28 and still have severe dry skin on my face. When I shave my skin gets extremely dry and red. Now it is getting worse, when I shower or wash my face which I cant do regulary, my face dries out. I know this is a result of my accutane use, however it should not have lasted 10 years later! I am worried, please help me. It is not going away, only getting worse.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. The Chat Doctor. You could try using a good moisturizer preferably containing colloidal oatmeal like Aveiro 3-4 times a day. Use a soap free cleanser like detail to wash your face. Do not use hot water as this will worsen
