Skin Care: In my experience one thing that really helped is changen skin products often, for example try vaseline or the Burt's Bees moisture line. If no improvement or worsening go to your doctor.

Accutane side effect: Lip balm is necessary. Blistex is good for when lips are already chapped and Vaseline to prevent chapping. Aquaphor is wonderful for lips, and also for the inside of your nose if you have dryness there, and on your penis. Drink plenty of water, as Accutane will dry you out. When using a towel, pat, 'Do Not rub. The benefits are overwhelming but so are the side effects! I've never prescribed it!
