Ask a doctor  Can I Use Vitamin E Oils (E.g. Palmer's) on my
Scars While I Am on Accutane?  I have been on Accutane since
January. I had very serious acne, now gone, but their places are
still very visible. Can I use vitamin E oils, like e.g. the
Palmer's one? Wouldn't it cause any more damage to the skin?
Doctor Answers 1  Using Vitamin E post Accutane  What you are
describing is PIH - post inflammatory hyperpigmentation - that
happens after some acne lesions. Over time this discoloration
should go away on its own but you can use Vitamin E if you'd
like. I don't find it does much of anything, but it won't hurt
you if that's the concern. Prescriptions like hydroquinone or
light IPL or Cutera Genesis are preferable and would be better,
but PIH does resolve on its own in most cases. You need to make
sure you're using a good sunscreen daily as well.  Las Vegas
