Accutane has been suggested for my college bound student. There is scarring from PIH but more worrisome, PITTED SCARS. I am concerned about side effects but more about long-term scarring if not treated. My student will be far away and not under my supervision.

I am desperate for a second opinion .. thank you!!!!
