Hello All,

I am on my second course of Accutane and I believe I'm experiencing the thin skin side effect. I can clearly see blue veins all over my body now that are more prominent than ever. I am unable to pin point if this was a side effect I had last time because I was so tan when I started my course.

Can anyone confirm that this is a possible side effect, and, if so, does it resolve after I'm done with the meds.

Specifically I am noticing a network of lines on my chest/shoulder area.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

thanks,

nobody noticed this on tane?

I think my skin is thinner as well. The veins on my wrist are really prominent, but I don't know how it looked before accutane. And I feel like the dark circles under my eyes are worse.
It's definitely a possible side effect (that's why you should avoid too much sun exposure right?), and I think it would resolve itself, but we just have to wait and find out I guess

Whew, glad to hear someone else out there feels this way. My undereyes are redic. right now. And my skin is so dry, I'm having a hard time concealing without it looking cakey. In any case...from what I have read from past users, it's supposed to resolve itself. Here is to hoping!

Thanks so much for your response!

Yeah, I have pretty bad circles anyway, so now I look like I partied all night long while I was in bed at 10pm
Hoping it'll get better
