Always apply Accutane as directed by your dermatologist. Never exceed the prescribed dosage.
Use a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser to avoid further skin irritation. Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants while using Accutane.
Liberal sunscreen application (SPF 30 or higher) is mandatory daily, even on cloudy days. Accutane significantly increases sun sensitivity.
Report any unusual bleeding or bruising to your doctor immediately. Accutane can affect blood clotting.
Maintain consistent hydration by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Dryness is a common Accutane side effect.
Regularly monitor for signs of depression or anxiety. Report any changes in mood to your healthcare provider. Accutane may impact mental health.
Avoid waxing or other harsh hair removal methods. Your skin will be more sensitive and prone to damage.
Benzoyl peroxide can increase dryness and irritation. Use a low concentration and apply sparingly, especially when combined with Accutane.
Expect potential side effects like dry skin, lips, and eyes. Use appropriate moisturizers and lip balms to alleviate these symptoms.
Pregnancy is absolutely contraindicated while taking Accutane. Use reliable contraception.
Regularly schedule follow-up appointments with your dermatologist to monitor treatment progress and address any concerns.
