The increased use of isotretinoin therapy for severe cystic acne has posed new problems for dermatologic surgeons. There have been recent reports in the literature of unexpected “atypical” scarring after dermabrasion in patients who have previously taken isotretinoin. This scarring was considered atypical because it occurred outside the typical “danger zones” (e.g., mandible and malar eminences) where scarring most often occurs after dermabrasion.
