Accutane darkening my skin 3 months into it. Do I need a higher SPF?

tiff8819
I’ve been on accutane 3 months. The past 1.5 months my skin had gotten darker. There’s a few spots that are my normal skin tone and it makes my face look crazy. I wear spf 30 and I’m not in the sun. The most I’m outside is walking to my car or walking into the store. IS this normal. Do I need a higher spf?
