[HELP] Corticosteroid ointment on my penis and it thinned the skin
I am being treated with Roaccutane (
isotretinoin
) for acne. 4 months ago I had dryness and irritation on my penis due to the medication. I consulted a terrible urologist and he prescribed me a corticosteroid ointment and told me that I should use it repeatedly, as the ointment wouldn't harm me.

A mole I’ve had since kid is turning lighter in color.
I read somewhere that a mole changing its color indicates the possibility of skin cancer although I don’t know of any type of cancer in my family so im thinking it could be from the
isotretinoin
. Any of you had a similar problem?

Blushing on accutane?
My dermatologists just started me on 10mg
isotretinoin
three times a week for adult acne. I now blush frequently and this can last for hours. I have only been o. The treatment for about a week. Could the
isotretinoin
cause side effects so soon and at such a low dose?

Isotretinoin (roaccutane) making skin worse?
My daughter has been on 40mg for just over 4 weeks and her skin has become much worse. It's a bit dry but she doesn't have any other symptoms and seems fine on it apart from the massive breakouts all over her cheeks and chin. She's 17 and it's making her miserable. We are seeing the consultant next

Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) possible trigger of Hashimotos?
I was looking through an old diary and realised I got diagnosed with hashimotos 6 weeks after coming off the drug roaccutane. After a bit of googling I did find a study suggesting maybe roaccutane is an environmental trigger for hashimotos. Just wondering if anyone else has made this personal link or

Isotretinoin/Asthma
Hello Everyone, Does anyone have an idea if
Isotretinoin
(treatment for acne) causes chest tightness or shortness of breath? I am not able to differentiate if this is my asthma or med side effect! Thanks,

Rocutane / isotretinoin- Sligh Skin recess on Upper Back/Lats and Muscle Pain - Is this worrying?
Hi All, been using Rocutane since Dec 31, 20MG dose. I'm 38, with moderate acne on back and shoulders. All was going well until a week ago when I started having pain in my lats/upper back. Next thing I see a bit of redness/rash in this area. It's not that much but I am worried. And that area is painful

Isotretinoin
My 14 yr old daughter has been taking
Isotretinoin
30 mg for 6 weeks now. Her skin is much worse, she has dry lips, and dandruff due to dry scalp. Her joints are aching & she’s has tummy pain. She feels she wants to stop as things are worse.

Why do I still have acne?
I take my
isotretinoin
with lunch. I am also on an anti depressant as I have had very severe anxiety and OCD. However, even on
isotretinoin
I am still experiencing deep painful spots (i always have at least one at any one time).

Teenage acne, PCOS & endometriosis. Are they linked?
The only thing that cleared it for me was
Isotretinoin
(but not fully). I do still sometimes get acne, but it’s never as bad as it used to be. My skin is heavily scarred from it. Have any of you had a similar experience?

Bowel Endometriosis?
My sister and I initially suspected if I could have PCOS because it runs in our family and I am quite hairy, have/had suffered with acne for over 10 years which was not treated successfully by anything but
Isotretinoin
.
