When to Consult a Dermatologist Regarding Shaving and Accutane

Schedule a dermatologist appointment if you experience persistent razor burn or irritation despite using gentle shaving techniques and lubricants. Increased sensitivity or inflammation around hair follicles warrants immediate attention.

Report any unusual skin reactions, such as severe redness, swelling, or blistering after shaving. These could indicate an allergic reaction or other complications.

If your acne worsens significantly after starting Accutane and despite changes to your shaving routine, seek professional advice. Your dermatologist can assess your condition and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.

Consult your dermatologist if you notice new or changing skin lesions or any signs of infection around shaving cuts or ingrown hairs. Early intervention is key for managing potential issues.

Don’t hesitate to contact your dermatologist for personalized guidance on appropriate shaving techniques and products during your Accutane treatment. They can provide tailored recommendations based on your specific skin type and condition.
