I've just recently finished up a round of Accutane (I took my last pill about 3 weeks ago) and since then I have had several small red bumps appearing on my face (not rash or hive-appearing) that are not any form of acne as far as I can tell. Has any one else experienced this? There are not many on my face, about 4-6 at a time and they appear in areas I've never experienced acne before, like under my eyes. They are not tender either, though I experience a pin-prick sensation when touching some of them.

I never had this after my first course. If I were you, I would see a doctor.

I agree with the above poster - go to the doctor. Any type of skin irritation while still coming down from a medication that makes your skin sensitive to begin with needs to be checked out.
