Hi, I Have Been Taking Accutane 10 Mg, On And
Hi,
I have been taking Accutane 10 mg, on and off since approximately 10 years. My acne is mild and I only need to keep it under control with a small dosage.
I have recently noticed that the very edge of my nails got a bit yellowish and had a bit of a strange smell that persisted even after washing my hands with soap (many times a day).
I have been also taking Chlorella pills (besides one multivitamin pill per day that I take since over 25 years).
I have stopped Chlorella since about 2 weeks as well as Accutane. the smell of the nails almost completely disappeared, and the yellowish color from the edge of the nails (I trimmed them one time in the interim) diminished a lot.
Your advice/ suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
