Everything in moderation. A little sun shouldn't worsen your skin, in fact, the vitamin D would probably do you some good! 
And lotion won't fade remarks, but it will moisterize your skin which will in turn aid in repairing your skin which could help fade redmarks over time.

If you tan you also tan your redmarks and that will make them last longer. They may blend in nicely with your skin for a while, but once you lose your tan, you will have longer-lasting red marks.
And a higher risk for skin cancer, particularly if you don't use sunscreen.
Just use an AHA moisturizing lotion to help fade the marks. Neutrogena makes some good ones.

http://neutrogena.com/ProductsDetails_37.a...roductLineID=13 That's one of the good products, and it is good in the Night formulation. Another is Aqua Glycolic toner or cleanser (just google Aqua Glycolic and you'll find where to buy from their website). When using an AHA product, particularly combined with Accutane, you'll definitely need at least an SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation or melasma like marks. I found that out myself! My melasma like markings have finally gone away after 2.5 months of every other day glycolic acid use (the Avon product in my sig). The Avon will be too drying for you to use while on Accutane.
