Asked By:rbi0001

I had warts removed on my body but i am on accutane. Now I find the procedure left crater-like scars on my back that after 3 weeks are still not fully dry or healed. What should i do to make it heal faster and to minimize the scars that will be left by this?

F. Victor Rueckl, MD (in memoriam) says:

Because Accutane causes such high sun sensitivity, self tanning is the only way to go. You can use over-the-counter products or spray tans. Your skin might be a bit more susceptible to stinging or itching post self tanning, but you can always take an OTC allergy pill to ease that.
