No danger: There certainly was no reason to put this medication on your lips but i don't think there was any danger in doing so.

Accutane can be: Accutane can cause depression and even suicidal thoughts. If any concerns, see physician asap. If continuing tetracycline, this can effect the metabolism of psychiatric medications. This must be considered by any prescriber of psychiatric meds. Sometimes the psych meds can help clear up acne. Need to see a psychiatrist well versed in psychopharmacology, especially psychodermatology.
