I've been on accutane for 1.5 months (first 20 mg/day, now 40 mg/day) and of course my skin is real dry....I'm able to deal with the dry face and lips, but lately I'm getting this like dry bumpy red rash all down my arms, a bit on my chest and hands.
Has anyone else experienced this while on accutane and have you gotten any certain creams to treat it?
btw, its spreading slowly, so any fast treatments are appreciated

Have you been putting lotion on? Get a mild hypo-allergenic lotion. It is likely just super dry skin. My hands get that kind of rash when they are really dry. I am sure your dermo can recommend a good lotion.
I personally like Jergens.

It puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again! Accutane is nasty stuff, I'd contact your doctor. It isn't something to play around with. My guess is that it might be skin irritation due to being so dry.

I never used accutane, but I would contact the pharmacy or docter asap!
