Skin Damage from 2nd Degree Sunburn While on Accutane

April 9, 2009
Asked By:rlm22 in Long Island, NY

About 8 months ago, I got a severe 2nd degree sun burn on face while on Accutane. It healed right after but a few months later skin on face is very sensitive and has red scar marks all over where the burn was. It has been 8 months and it does not look like it is healing. I just don't know what to think or what to do. Any advice would be greatly apreciated. Thank you.
