A member asked:

My son is on accutane for two weeks. his face is swollen around his eyes. is that an allergic reaction?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Have him seen: Accutane is not a gentle medicine, but is works remarkably well and I am glad junior has the benefit of it. A phone call to the prescribing physician is in order; junior won't be harmed if he misses a few doses.
