Why Do Raised Scars Affect Darker-skinned People More than Lighter-skinned People?

It’s More about Ethnicity than Skin Color. Non-Caucasians Tend to Develop Raised Scars More Often than Caucasians, Likely for Genetic Reasons

Does Isotretinoin (Accutane®) Cause Raised Scars?

Probably Not, but to Be on the Safe Side, Consider Avoiding Invasive Procedures like Ablative Laser Treatment and Dermabrasion until You’ve Been off Isotretinoin for 6-12 Months
