Discoloration and Indentation on Accutane? (photo)

I've been on accutane 40mg for 2 months (and Diane 35) with great results.. Last week hairdresser colored my hair. 30 hours later i suddenly without itching, developed discoloration and little dents on my face, I used jojoba oil to cleanse and calendula with drop of lavender to moisturise face, E45 cream for the body without any side effects. I discontinued all moisturisers as soon as dents appeared but I'm getting more marks all over my face, neck, chest shall i stop accutane? Please advice!

Stop everything else you're doing. Apply cool water and topcial... more
