A member asked:
I have pretty bad dark circles/bags under my eyes. my pores are much bigger in my t-zone area now. could this be from accutane? would retin-a help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
ACNE: Accutane is used for severe acne and retin a (tretinoin) for less severe type. Your venous congestion under eyes are due to tiredness or other causes. Ask dermatologist for proper rx.
