Rash on hands

Last Friday my hands started to feel really warm, then they suddenly started to sting/burn, when I looked at them they had a bright red rash all over them.

It was only on the top

Of my hands/wrists but it looked like I was having an allergic reaction to something. The stinging eventually subsided but they still felt quite raw for hours after it.

They stayed like that till about Sunday and now, although the colour is normal, they feel rough and have tiny scabs on them.

I went to visit my Dermatologist yesterday  and she said to keep them moisturised (which I have been doing but doesn't seem to be stopping them dryness) and then recommended a topical steroid like Eumovate. Apparently, it's used to treat eczema and dermatitis and is cheap to buy.

Apparently, rashes like this are Normal when you take Roaccutane as oil is being dried up from all areas of the body and this is how the skin can react. This is my third time on R and I've never experienced this before!!! It really itches at the moment though...

I've bought some so I'll let you know if it makes any difference to my now scaly hands!
