Has anyone ever had Papular Dermatitis (sp?)? How did you get rid of it?

My sister's dermatologist just prescribe Accutane. I have heard bad things about Accutane, and was just wondering if it really worked for Papular Dermatitis.

Has anyone ever had Papular Dermatitis (sp?)? How did you get rid of it?
Hello,





This is from Drugs.com:


Accutane side effects


Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. Stop using Accutane and call your doctor at once if you have any of these serious side effects:


depressed mood, trouble concentrating, sleep problems, crying spells, aggression or agitation, changes in behavior, hallucinations, thoughts of suicide or hurting yourself;





sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;





blurred vision, sudden and severe headache or pain behind your eyes, sometimes with vomiting;





hearing problems, hearing loss, or ringing in your ears;





seizure (convulsions);





severe pain in your upper stomach spreading to your back, nausea and vomiting, fast heart rate;





loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes);





severe diarrhea, rectal bleeding, black, bloody, or tarry stools;





fever, chills, body aches, flu symptoms, purple spots under your skin, easy bruising or bleeding; or





joint stiffness, bone pain or fracture.





Less serious side effects may include:





discomfort with contact lenses;





joint pain, back pain;





feeling dizzy, drowsy, or nervous;





dryness of the lips, mouth, nose, or skin; or





cracking or peeling skin, itching, rash, changes in your fingernails or toenails.





I would stay away from this "medicine" no matter what.


Instead, try an herbal cream and spray combo from http://www.champori.com It cleared my dermatitis in a few weeks and I haven't had a flare up in more than a year now.


Best,


Bernadette
