Accutane - Dangerous!

My 23 year old daughter insisted on going on Accutane to deal with her facial scars from acne. I was against it - the stuff is horrible with tons of side effects - but all I could do was give my opinion as she is certainly of age. She has been pretty careful but is currently on a trip to Florida. She texted me that she got sunburned - her lips especially - and they are very swollen and sore. I had her call the dermatologist first thing this morning - not much I can do here in Washington State when she is in Florida... and they told her to get hydrocortisone cream which she said is helping a lot. Accutane does not mix with the sun, on top of all the other side effects! Has anyone else every used it and had problems with it?

I have not heard of it. Bio Oil is supposed to be great for scars, has she tried that.
