“Accutane Hand Rash”

February 19th, 2006

Often times during isotretinoin treatment, a rash may appear on the tops of the hands. This most commonly occurs between the wrist and thumb and index finger. This likely results from the drying effect that isotretinoin can have and is especially common during the winter months.

So, if you are on isotretinoin and notice a rash on your hands, tell you dermatologist and they can recommend a moisturizer (we like Cera Ve, Cetaphil, and Lubriderm Advanced Therapy) and perhaps even prescribe a topical steroid to help.
