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.
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.
Lip Licker's Eczema (Dermatitis)
Eczema from lip licking is very common, especially in kids. We instinctively want to wet them by licking them, but your saliva (spit) is not your friend on the skin. It can dry out the lips and make the skin around the lips red and flaky. Fix it with some over-the-counter products and a bit of willpower.
Perleche (cracks at corners of mouth)
Perleche is the name for cracks and redness at the corners of the mouth - it is painful, but often easy to treat with over-the-counter products, if you know what to use.
