What is this rash that appeared one month post accutane? (Photo)

accutanesideeffects
I took accutane for 6 months for minor chin acne. After a month of being off the drug I developed a red bumpy rash on my chest, thighs & legs. I had minor keratosis pilaris rubra on my face & arms since I was a child and am 28, it appears to be the same kind of small red bumps as KP but I have never had it anywhere else & have had clear soft skin. I have had the rash for 6 mths now & it appears to be getting worse. I have tried AHAs & differin 1% on my chest for almost 2 mths w no improvement.
