I ended my Accutane 3 months ago. My skin is clear, although I still have lots of red marks. My problem is extremely thin and fragile skin; it's gets broken easily and all veins are very prominent. My derm says that skin should become back to its normal thickness after Accutane. But how long should I wait? I'm very sad, I can't wear skirts, my legs look so awful because of thin skin and prominent veins! This is even worse than acne! Please, tell me if you have had the same problem and you know how to help skin become thicker again!

Give it a couple months, moisturize regularly, and avoid any other medications that can aggravate the thinning (for instance, topical retinoids). Odds are, everything will go right back to normal.

Edit: Didn't see how old this thread was... my apologies.

No prob..it got bumped up because of me. I'm kinda freaking out because I can see my veins through my skin right now. Do you have experience that this went away?
