Scarring on Accutane in places on my face that had no previous acne

On isotretinoin going on 3 months now. I noticed I'm developing atrophic scarring in places I had no previous acne. Like my forehead and chin. Are developing ice pick and rolling scars. Why ? I'm very concerned that scarring will worsen. :(
