Help w/ flareups!
hey group!
I’ve been taking accutane for two months and a half at a low dose of
10mg (2times a week) and have gotten great results. My dose was
increased to 3 times a week and i’ve noticed a bit more flare ups.
It could be due to the climate change (i.e. mild climate dipping to
cold with cold winds), however, it might be the increase in the
dose. It’s really hard to say with these things! But I have this
flareup on my face that is pretty persistent (i.e has been there for
2 and a half days. Usually I put Aloe vera gel and some mild face
cream and viola its gone in minutes, but this time it hasn’t worked.
The redness and itching stops after I appy both AV and the cream,
but seems to reappear after a couple of hours (i.e. redness comes
back and itchyness too). I was just wondering is there any natural
products that can help reduce my flare up. I’m really not wanting to
take any medicational cream since I’m already on Accutane. Are there
any suggestions of how to deal w/ flareups that are persistent?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Sonia

Hi sonia,
You said you wanted something natural. Well I’m using Salcura, you
can check it’s websites on net. I have tried accutane, got some from
a mexican pharmacist over the net. If you do find something that
works for you I suggest leaviong the accutane alone as soon as
possible. James
