Side effects of Accutane
Accutane is the best acne treatment. It has several possible side effects, but they are nearly all manageable with dermatologist-recommended over-the-counter skin products.
Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis)
Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is common and often worsens in winter, dry climates, or when you're sick. Frequent handwashing doesn’t help. Daily moisturizers are key to preventing flares, and a few extra tricks can make a big difference.
Brittle Nails (Split Nails)
Brittle nails are very common, and there are many triggers - age, diet, stress, climate, and more. Several steps should be taken to improve your nail’s growth and minimize splitting. Most people get stronger nails from vitamin supplements and temporarily using a nail strengthener.
Dry lips (Chapped Lips)
Dry lips can be very frustrating - they can crack, bleed, and constantly peel. Often, we want to lick our lips more frequently, but this can make it worse. Some over-the-counter products can be very helpful for this.
