Scars and Accutane?


Ok, I am currently on accutane (I've been on for almost a month), and I'm slowly seeing results. I am aware that I am forbidden to use any other products on my face because it won't work well with the accutane, but I was wondering if I could kill two birds with one stone. I'm aware not to use any clearasil or anything, but I want to get rid of my scars. Could I possibly use some kind of vitamin E lotion of any kind designed for scars on my face? After all, that is more natural than using retin-a or clearasil. If not, is there ANYTHING I can do while I'm on accutane to get rid of my scarring??

The best, most effective scar treatment is Vitamin E capsules. You open one end and apply directly to scars. Doctors performing face surgery or face lifts recommend this -- it hastens healing and minimises scarring. Solution voted 5 star Best Answer with response that it was effective in 3 days. It's safe to use with accutane.

i wouldnt try anything without checking with a doctor first. just to be on the safe side.

Yes, you may do certain things while on accutane.

The specific things that are forbidden all have a common quality: they irritate the skin. Most of these products or things are acids or retinoids which can damage your skin.

Vitamin E has a neutral pH and would not harm your skin while on accutane, you can use that.

Things you should stay away from are acids, retinoids, abraisive treatments, and sun exposure.

Lotions, gels, and things of that nature that are pH neutral are fine.
