QuanHenry 365 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Im no expert on Accutane so I dont know exactly what your skin can handle right now. I would talk to your derm about using AHA and possibly working up to peels (glycolic). My derms always pushed tretenoin but I like glycolic better.

JackAlfonso 6 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Is it indented? or just Hypopigmentation? Get a flashlight and try some angular lighting, there you can see if the scars are indented or just pimple marks. If it's just pimple marks it will resolve by itself or you can try putting Retin-A. This will help diminish the hypopigmentation or the pimple marks, but if its indented you need to have some acne scar treatments like lasers, TCA or Subcision. As what others said, you need to wait at least 6 months post accutane to start treating this scars with some invasive treatments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your scars are nothing compared to mine and others. You'll be just fine, it will eventually go away.
