Accutane
Can accutane cause gynecomastia? It doesn't as far as I know but I'd like to double check. Thanks

Re: Accutane
It does not cause gynecomastia -- but it does interfere with wound healing.  Would recommend no surgery until you are off Accutane for at least six months.

Re: Accutane
I'm also unaware of any connection between Accutane and gynecomastia.
