off accutane

[Enj]

hi,

about 6 months ago i was on accutane. i done maby.. a 3 month course, not a lot.

anyway, before i was on accutane, i had blackheads on my nose.

when i went on accutane, all my blackheads went away and my nose looked flawless, it was great. no blackheads at all.

now that i'm off accutane, i have blackheads again. not as big, not as many, but still quite a lot.

i'm just wondering, what was it that made accutane clear up my nose so well? what was actually happening? and why is it now that i'm off accutane, have i got blackheads again?

Black heads and acne are basically caused by oil. Accutane kills the oil, therefore no bleackheads.

so should i look for specific products (face washes) that tackles this?

or, do basically all do it?

your dermatologist should have given you a cream that helps dries the skin out.

Your doctor will probably prescribe you with Differin or Eryacne. If not then you should ask about them, i found the latter to be extremely good.
