What do you do to pimples while on accutane?

I recently started using accutane and have started to break out a little more after using it. I was wondering what I am supposed to do to the pimples. Do I pop them or do I just leave them alone?What do you do to pimples while on accutane?
Here is a blog about how to treat acne: http://juliakazan.blogspot.com/2008/07/g鈥?/a>





Right now, I would just make sure that you are using a gentle foaming face wash. I wouldn't pop them or add any other treatments into the mix without talking to your doctor. Accutane will dry out your skin and so will most acne products. Your doctor may prescribe you differin.What do you do to pimples while on accutane?
You should never pop a pimple. It leads to scarring and infections. You are bound to have a break out after starting anything for your skin (You have to start with a clean slate)


Good Luck and remember to moisturize!!!
leave them alone if u pop them u can get holes in ur face and other things leave them alone and apply something to them and they will be gone quickly if they are really bothering u ,u can visit a dermotoligst ( not sure how its written)
The tricky part about acne is that the problem can


actually become worse if you overmedicate. That's


because acne medication can overdry the skin, causing


a boost in your skin's Sebum (oil) production. This


results in...you guessed it - more acne.





So what's the long term solution? Find gentler


solutions or even natural acne cures that won't


shock your body into more breakouts.





Here's what I recommend...





Glycerin based facewash:


Glycerin is gentler and will balance the


pH levels in your skin.





Antibacterial Soap:


For body acne, try using an antibacterial soap


to slowly dry out the skin. If your skin gets too dry,


switch to a moisterizing soap like Dove to


counterbalance the effect.





Don't Overwash:


Wash your face only 2 times a day max and gently


pat dry with a towel.





Moisterize:


Use a gentle face moisterizer if the glycerin based


face wash drys you out too much. I like using


Aveeno moisterizers personally.





Change Your Diet:


Eat almonds, fiber, drink lots of water and avoid


excess sugar intake. Food really does make a difference.


This is because the food you put into your body has a


direct effect on your Sebum (oil) production. By eating


the right foods, you'll minimize oily skin, thereby


preventing breakouts.





Egg Whites:


If acne medication isn't working or causing new breakouts,


try applying egg whites to the pimples at night before bed.


This natural remedy works by gently drying out the clogged


pores and clearing up the pimple.





Oatmeal Masks:


One of my favorite natural skin conditioners is wearing an


';oatmeal mask';. The oatmeal with smooth your skin while


simultaneously absorb toxins and oils from your pores.


Try this for a few days straight. Wear the oatmeal mask


for 10 minutes, then wash off. You'll have a nice


glowing complexion right after.





Lemon Juice:


Lemon juice also dries up pimples and kills any bacteria


in the infection.The citric acid also balances your skin's


pH levels to prevent future breakouts.





Honey:


Yes, despite your initial beliefs, honey is FANTASTIC for


skin care. Actually, you may notice on many moisterizers


that honey is an ingredient. Much like the lemon solution


above, honey balances the skins pH levels. Test out this


sticky remedy by dabbing pimples with honey and leaving it


on for 5-10 minutes. You can apply full honey masks to your


face but I prefer the oatmeal masks instead.


They're less messy.
