I would definately stay away from Accutane! I took all of about a couple weeks of that stuff before I had to stop. It works on the acne, but your face gets all red and dried out, and you are unbelievable thirsty all the time. It basically shuts down all of your sweat glands as I understand it, at any rate it's pretty rough. If you want to do something simple, try tanning about once a week or so. This seems to dry the spots up, and you look like you just came back from somewhere cool. Doing it too much would defeat the purpose, as exposing yourself to high powered bulbs too much to save your skin will in turn destroy your skin. Keep it infrequent, and use a touch of sunscreen or something.
