just side note as of other side effects from accutane. to go along with the hair loss has anyone noticed that they are much paler now after accutane. i used to get really dark in the summer and my face would tan easily and get dark etc. now however, it seems that not only won't my face tan at all it's even more resistant to the sun. my body gets somewhat dark like it used to but my face is as pale as a ghost and it's july here. does this ever go away or has accutane permanetly altered my skin tone. i've been off accutane since february of this year and was only on a 6 month course of 20mg for 2 months and 40 the rest.
