How Long Will my Skin Take to Not Be Sensitive to the Sun After Accutane?

April 19, 2013

I'm going to be done with Accutane in a month or two. I'm an active athlete and this sensitivity to sunlight scares me. I have lacrosse practice from 4pm-6pm, and I wear sunscreen all over my body. After one season, I'm browner than I would be if I laid on the beach all summer. I really don't want to damage my skin, but I'm probably going to go to some tournaments this summer that will be all day in harsh sunlight. What can I do to protect myself?
