... about accutane sensitivity? Normally don't burn easily, but while on accutane had to severely limit sun exposure even with high spf lotion.
Have been off accutane for 3 wks, can I get normal sun exposure with sunscreen without worrying?

It should be out of your system by now. I would recommend using a high SPF sunscreen lotion if you go out. You should be fine. I've personally worked outside while taking Accutane. It does increase the chances of you becoming sunburned of course. Once your off it you should be fine though. I hope this helps. Good luck to you!
