Please see your Dr.: Isotretinoin dries the skin. That is part of its action. Because skin is more dry, you may be developing eczema which is itchy. Make sure you are using a mild soap and don't scrub skin when you wash. Eliminate all fragrances from anything that touches your skin including laundry detergents. Use a moisturizing cream on body, arms, legs. If that doesn't work, please see your dr. For evaluation.
