Skin resurfacing: Sounds like you may need skin resurfacing with fraxel. It depends on your skin tone and finances. Fraxel is a nice way of resurfacing the skin and improving, not getting rid of all, scars and discoloration. You would need to be off the Accutane for at least 6 months before fraxel. If still breaking out, then spironolactone pills are good option to control acne.
