A member asked:
I'm on accutane, my skin is very thin. suddenly, my facial skin is drawn by a ballpoint pen. i washed it. does it affect my skin color?

May get red: Some patients on Accutane may experience very red skin. Getting drawn on by a ball point pen and then washing off the ink, should not have any affect with your acne therapy. The skin color change may just simply be by some spreading of the ink as you tried to wash it off your skin.
