Accutane, what lotions can i use on the back on my VERY dr..

Im on week 5 now of 60mg a day. Derm has told me to cut back to 40mg a
day to help but my knuckles on my hands are really dry, to the point
where i have cirles of dry flaking skin round every knucle and
creeping up the base of my fingers.
Can anyone recommend a UK cream to help.
Ive tried Boots own make Skin Therapy lotion but it only lasts about
an hour then its back, rubbing on vaseline helps a bit but again this
only lasts about 30 mins to an hour, then the flakes are visible again
Is there anything that can give me a bit longer?

Hi,

I tried quite a few products whilst on accutane but nothing was as good as
Vaseline Intensive Care DermaCare. It is really amazing turning thick flaky
lizard skin into smooth silky supermodel skin instantly!!

I too had very dry hands whilst on accutane and still do now - 3 months
later - so I use DermaCare every morning.

HTH
