I completed 16 weeks of Accutane and want to know if hyperpigmentation is a side effect of this drug. I started noticing hyperpigmentation overnight along my hairline on my forehead and have received conflicting answers as to why.
I have been told that it is possibly due to the Pearl laser treatment that I had 6 months prior to starting the Accutane?
I would also like to know what is the best treatment for this hyperpigmentation and how long should I wait to seek treatment.
