hi accutane is the best drug for acne ,but the main side effect is dryness of body which causes hyperpigmentation of all the body.use a good moisteriser like acnemoiste to decrease dryness and it is non comedogenic.use supplementation of evion tablet to decrease pigmentation of the skin.continue to use sunscreen lotion over the face
