Could accutane cause brown spots on hands?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Brown Spots: Brown spots may be due to a lack of vitamin C or B12, anemia, weak liver function or cumulative sun damage. It's important to investigate each potential cause; your doctor can help. Accutane makes you sun sensitive which can cause brown spots.
