My 24 yr son had a partially collapsed lung (spontaneous pneumothorax) 2 months ago due to bleb on lung. Drs could not say why it happened. He took accutane 7 yrs ago for six mos, could this drug be the reason as some info online indicates there could be a link. He is tall and thin. Also could exercise cause this too?
