I've been on accutane for 3 months the spots have got better but the hyperpigmintation has got worse is there anything i can use to help this go away ?

You absolutely need: to discuss with the dermatologist who put you on the accutane. There are many things to do to treat hyper pigmentation but only the doctor who is treating you with this serious medication should decide what is best.
