A member asked:
I had gotten my ears pierced before starting accutane, and i had to let them close due to irritation to the metal. can i get them done again?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes...but...: If you are now off accutane you may find that the posts they use still irritate your skin. Some kiosks will offer hypoallergenic posts when you have this problem.
