    Use non comedegenic moisterizer 3 times a day b/c your face will get red, very itchy and VERY DRY!
    If skin burns, soak face in oatmeal or aveeno

    LOTION!!!!! my skin was sooooo dry. and try to kept your chosletrol down. when i went off accutane…it was high, so they gave me lipitor to lower it.

    drink loooooots of water.

    keep chapstick on hand at allll times. the corners of my mouth were cracked they entire time i was on accutane.

    i dont remember any hair loss, but it was years ago.

    good luck…im still acne free :)

    I have started with my roaccutane program… currently on my “almost” 2nd month in the treatment. I suggest you go and buy chapstick for your lips, some eyedrops as your eyes will dry up too.. stop wearing contact lenses. lotion for your skin, and if possible keep your face clean of make-up. moisturize with a mild moisturizer every night.
    the first month seems to have very minimal changes but as you go along, you can see some improvements. don’t let the initial flare ups discourage you, as it is normal. some say it can cause mood swings. that I dont have proven yet. I still get the pimple, though they just tend to dry out faster… hair loss? nah…. just go easy on those hair elastics. so rest easy and wish for the best. =)
