    Hey man do not tan while on accutain, it makes you extreamly light sensitive. I am not sure what would happen, but I have seen numorous warnigs about it in about every tanning studio I have been in.

    I've seen and heard the same thing...I'd be very cautious while on accutane. If you're tanning to help your skin then don't bother because the accutane(as you already know) is the best.

    yeah I am currently on 80mgs a day of accutane and if I even got within a few feet of a tanning bed I would get burned horrendously . Do not tan while you are on accutane. Accutane causes serious skin fragility.

    Thanks,

    Adap .. Bro that's nice!

    popa .. Like the other fellas said, it's wise to stay away from tanning while on Accutane. Even if you have a decent base, you'll burn like a mother!
