hello i was wondering if anyone here knows about ALLERGIC VASCULITIS?
which i think is the cause of my facial redness since it was post an accutane treatment..

How would you treat this?

thank you

Vasculitis causes purpura (purple spots) not "redness".

Allergic vasculitis, is simply vasculitis caused by an allergic reaction, usually to a drug.

Here is a picture of vasculitis:

I don't have it, thankfully.

I would recommend you see a dermatologist if you have symptoms similar to this.

thank you j mill.

well, mine is not like those in the picutres. It is just in the cheeks and temple.

no nose, forehead,chin..

and it all came post accutane treatment for acne. - and one of the side effects of accutane is allergic vasculitis which is (damage of blood vessels).

i dont know if i am in the right track...?

for this reason should i go to an allergist or dermatologist?

thank you
