Dark spot treatment from accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dark Spot: You have to protect your skin from the sun to avoid getting dark spots. But once the dark spots appear, it is possible to treat them. Potential over-the-counter treatments include hydroquinone creams that bleach the skin and microdermabrasion kits that buff out the rough, dark spots. Prescription drug treatments include tretinoin, known as retin-a.

He wants me to go to another dermatologist but I thought I would try this first. Acne?
