My face is pale compared to my body now post Accutane. Advice?

Question

I have now been off accutane for 7months. Ever since I have taken accutane my face does not tan or change colour like my body. Before accutane my face would tan well but now it just seems to be pale constantly in comparison to my body. Can anybody please help me with this problem? Thankyou

An in-person evaluation would be important along with a review of your before and after photos.  Hopefully your skin is now acne-free and you are using sun protection faithfully to protect your skin. Your skin may be more sensitive to trauma and sunburn for at least a year following Isotretinoin treatment. It is important to be under the supervision of a board certified dermatologist.
