Hi,

I stopped Accutane 2 months ago now, my skin is still awesome. But now i
need to get a tan in a tanning booth before leaving for punta cana and was
wondering for how long does the skin stays sensitive to light? I.E. Will I
get burn real badly?

Thanks

Two things:

1) I would call your derm and ask.
2) While in Punta Cana, I would simply wear SPF 45, wear a big hat, and
reapply the sunscreen frequently to all exposed areas.

for several months after you finish. And because your skin thins out so much
on accutane, espically if your on it for the full five months, the cancer
risk is much higher.

I have a simple solution, stay out of the sun. Your skin rot and you'll
have a face full of pits.

Accutane - I have to go on accutane. How bad does the acne gets worse the first weeks? Is it so bad that you can't go out? Currently, my acne is not so bad but I want it TO GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK.

Accutane - Hi there. Im just posting a question about accutane and its effect. Iv been on it for 1 month now. Im 5ft10 and about 65kg. I take 20mg one day and then 40mg next day. Keep alternating like that. So far tho i have not see any effect of accutane. I dont..

Accutane 7th day - Ok, eyes not so dry in the morning anymore. Odd thing is that I haven't had any new acne show up since day 3 and the old stuff has been dissappearing nicely. Sorry Lauksna! Buddee.

Accutane : Day 1 , Cap 1 - Well, the inevitable has happened. Just took my first pill. Luckily Accutane won't be expensive at all... I take 2 x 40mg per day. Normal price is 240$ CAD but it will actually cost me 70$ CAD, thanks to my insurances. Oh we'll see how it goes

Accutane - Been on accutane for nearly 10 weeks now and there is still no 'definate' improvement. Is this normal or should something definate have started to happen by now??
