A member asked:
Can accutane cause slight water retention on the face-puffy cheeks, roundish face? if so, if one has been off accutane for a year, what can be done?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: This does not sound like a side effect to accutane. Particularly if you have been off it for a year. I would start with your primary care doctor to evaluate you.
