Dr. William Culviner answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Moisturize : First of all, what is MK? You're describing a dry skin condition. This is relatively common. Hypoallergenic moisturizers are useful. Sometimes, anti-inflammatory topical medications like hydrocortisone or other stronger prescription anti-inflammatories are helpful. See an ENT, dermatologist, or a facial plastic surgeon for advice .

Can Accutane cause anxiety afterwards? I was on Accutane in 2014 for about 3-4 months. Only side effects were nose bleeds on and off and dry skin. Since finishing it I have had increased anxiety socially. Could this be why?
