White spot on my chin after Accutane?

Answered by a doctor

Hi! I just ended accutane last week after 7 months of treatment and today I noticed a white spot on my chin. I've never seen this until today and I'm surprised something like this would just pop up as soon as I stopped the treatment. Will it go away?

itching in the pubic area and thighs

Answered by a doctor

Sometimes at the end of the day the crevice between my legs and vagina itches (where my panties are). When I scratch it, normal reaction, it looks like I just scratched dirt off of my skin. Also, I have noticed that the area has gotten darker too. Could it just be sweat?
