I'm headed to Punta Cana over March Break, I already told my derm I didn't want to interrupt my course for the purpose of the trip and she told me the obvious - slather myself in sunscreen the whole time. But I'm wondering if there's anything else I need to know about being on Accutane while on vacation in a place like that.

One question I had was will I have any trouble getting Accutane on the plane? I'm sure I'd be able to since obviously lots of people have to bring medication with them on flights, but with security these days I can't help but worry I'll run into trouble. Aside from that, is there any other advice from any of y'all?

If so, thanks in advance.

Hi,
I actually went to DR while I was on Accutane, I went to Puerto Plata. Anyway you shouldn't have any trouble getting your meds on the plane, I just threw mine in my luggage. My advice for your trip is to get the highest level of sunscreen you can get. I got the water babies foam spf 70 for my body and this non comogenic one I get from trader joes spf 50 for my face and reapplied religiously. I also had a very large hat that I wore whenever I was on the beach. I came home with a little tan but I definitely did not burn. I had a great time! Hope this helps and have a great trip!

Thanks for the advice! When you're on Accutane, does the whole body become highly susceptible to sunburns or is it just the face?
