I'm on my 5th and final month of Accutane.  My derm told me my skin looked fine, but I still am paranoid about my skin... I still have lots of acne even after Accutane! But my derm said I was finished with my dose. Any advice? And is this normal? How can I clear it up? I've been told by others that it's not active acne but instead hyper pigmentation, from where my previous acne was. Can anyone please confirm this for me? I'm really paranoid about it.

Most of that will go away after the accutane is out of your system, since the accutane will make it look much more red then it is.
