I have been on roaccutane for a week and have experienced a terrible rosacea flare. my face feels like it is on fire. my derm is away, can i come off?

Accutane: You have chosen to get on Accutane after consulting with your derm. We were not involved in that discussion, so we cant step in for your doctor and tell you what to do. You need to reach your dermatologist or the doctor who is covering for him or her. Your dermatologist's office can help you with that.
