A member asked:
I'm on my last 4 months of accutane i still have some hiperpigmentation even after 1.4 years how can i remove them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: This is common and there are a number of options. There are medications that will bleach or decrease the hyperpigmentation. There are UV/laser based treatments that are helpful as well. Time will also decrease them. I would recommend that you consult with a cosmetic dermatologist for options and treatment if this is concerning.
