A member asked:
I have been on accutane for about two months now and my face colour has become darker. what can i do? i wear sunscreen already

Probably fine: Is your acne getting better? The skin that was inflamed can heal with more color or less color. This is normal. Accutane can also make you photosensitive. Apply sunscreen liberally and often, and consider wearing a brimmed hat.
