A: Accutane treatment

No worries, just continue taking Accutane from where you left off.  The important thing is the total dose taken during the course of Accutane

I Picked on a Blackhead While on Accutane. Does

I had a bout of obsession over my skin tonight and I picked on a blackhead. I don't usually scar but since I'm on a 20mg daily dose of accutane, will this increase the chances of scarring?

A: Scarring is usually worse on Accutane

Scarring is usually worse on Accutane, hence it is important to avoid picking the skin while on medication.

Acne Scar Treatment While on Accutane?

What acne scar treatment can be done while on Accutane?

A: Acne scar treatment after Accutane

Generally 6 months after finishing would be safe, though 1 year would be ideal. That said, it all depends on how aggressive one is as far as acne treatment. Mild things like chemical peels & microdermabrasion & fillers & subcision would be fine after 6 months, while ablative or resurfacing lasers (e.g. CO2, fractional lasers) are worth waiting for 1 year to be perfectly safe. Good luck!
