Blistered Lips Due to Accutane?? Posted: 11-15-04 11:42am
I started taking accutane about 6 weeks
ago. Within the last 2 days my lips have
developed a bunch of little bubbles that
resemble blisters. I know that
excessively dry lips is a side effect of
the med but I wasn't aware of blisters.
Does anyone know if this is a side effect?
Thanks!

I didn't have blisters but I did have the
dry lips.. They could be caused by
irritation if your lips are starting to
dry out. Have you asked your doctor
about getting some ointment for your lips?
If not I would get a prescription for
some.. It helped keep my lips manageable
while on it...

Severe depression to the point of near
death is the top side effect for accutane.
Blistered lips is number 2. Please see
my other posts about never taking accutane
ever.
Alot of people use cetaphil along with
accutane. Which I swear will make your
face and lips even dryer.
Start using chapsticks like never before.
Your lips will peel in ways unimaginable.

Depression can be a side effect.. But is
not the number one side effect.
