I'm considering going on accutane in a few months if my dianette doesn't work, but I know that accutane slows healing and you have an increased risk of scaring so if I picked I'd be making things alot worse than I am now, but I honestly don't think I could leave pimples alone. Today I made a vow to not pick, but of course I did.

Has anyone suffered with obsessive skin picking whilst on accutane?

I haven't experienced picking while on Accutane, but I know that is another reason why I should not go on Accutane.

I pick, I pick I pick I pick. It's not to the point where my face looks disgusting, but if I see a scab, I definitely peel and pick it off. It seems like my pimples heal WAY faster if I pick them, but of course I am left with hyper pigmentation. I don't have any real scars on my face, just hyper pigmentation. I want to stop picking though, because it is unhealthy.
