You need to be off of the Accutane for at least 6-12 months before doing most types of laser treatment. This is especially true for the deeper ablative procedures such as CO2 or erbium.

Cortizone 10 is a topical hydrocortisone available over the counter. It is just fine to use while on Accutane to calm your redness and/or stinging. You should always apply it after a bit of cool water to the area so that it can actually penetrate better into the skin. "This answer has been...
It really shouldn't affect your regimen much, if at all. Continue taking your meds, and try to get them on a schedule where you don't have to miss any in the future. But based on the photos provided, you are going to need to be on Accutane for quite some time, so 10 days isn't going to alter the...
It would be reasonable to do a Brazilian Blowout while on Accutance. I would only consider that your scalp might be slightly more sensitive under these conditions.
