Is this a side effect? Thought my iso tret was bunk for a few days.

Never had them before
Nose felt grainy
Look in mirror
Nose look like strawberry

It's normal.

When you do accutane or retinoids you're increasing cell turnover.

In a nutshell, there's sorta 'dormant acne' in the deeper layers of your skin.

When you increase cell turnover you're pushing these out.

And thus you have a 'purge' phase.

This is super oversimplified, obv. Take it with a grain of salt.

Hope this helped, if it did, mark as solution by clicking the checkmark on the right :Comfy:
