Go see ur Dermatolog: Go see your dermatologist or whoever prescribed your Accutane (it's no longer sold under that brand here in the states). Tell her/him about your concerns. Please make sure you're using 2 forms of birth control & be sure to get monthly pregnancy test. You don't want to get pregnant while on Accutane because of tremendous risk for birth defects.
