Hello. Just a question. I have been on isotretinoin (roaccutane/accutane) for a month now and i have noticed my face and hands are slightly red/pinker than usual. Im thinking this could be due to skin being more sensitive to sun but want to make sure. Weather where i live hasnt exactly been hot or anything... People keep commenting and asking if i have been on holiday :-P
