Should I suspend Accutane if I am traveling to the South?

Yes, it is recommended to suspend the intake of Accutane if you will be traveling to a sunny destination in order to reduce the risk of photosensitivity. It is also important to limit alcohol consumption, as it can affect the liver just like Accutane. When exposing yourself to the sun, be sure to apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 45 and reapply it regularly, especially between 10 am and 3 pm. Remember that excessive sun exposure can be harmful to your skin and overall health in the short and long term. Enjoy your trip, but remember to protect your skin and avoid excessive sun exposure.
