# Aftertane
> Most new bumps after Accutane aren't relapse — Aftertane helps you tell what they probably are. Track your skin through photos and daily logs, and build the visual archive your dermatologist can actually use.

## What Aftertane does

Aftertane is a recovery archive for the months after finishing Accutane (isotretinoin). It helps post-Accutane patients understand what they are seeing, track change over time with photos and severity logs, and build a visual record for dermatologist visits.

The app includes a free public orientation tool at https://aftertane.com/is-this-normal — "Is this normal after Accutane?" — that narrows the most common post-Accutane skin changes (new bumps, redness, texture, sebaceous hyperplasia, fungal acne, perioral dermatitis, hormonal breakouts) by pattern and location, with base-rate context and dermatologist escalation signals. No account required. It is not a diagnosis tool.

## Pricing

- Free: full app access, photo archive, daily log, orientation guide
- Pro: $4.99/month or $39/year (AI skin observations, photo comparison export, trend analysis)
- Founders Lifetime: $99 one-time (Pro features, limited availability)

- [Hair loss after Accutane: causes and recovery](https://aftertane.com/learn/hair-loss-after-accutane): Hair shedding associated with isotretinoin is generally diffuse temporary loss, called telogen effluvium, rather than permanent follicle damage.

- [New bumps after Accutane: what they usually mean](https://aftertane.com/learn/bumps-after-accutane): New bumps after Accutane can have several explanations, including heat irritation, fungal overgrowth, clogged follicles, sebaceous hyperplasia, perioral dermatitis, hormonal patterns, and acne returning.

## What Aftertane is not

Not a medical diagnosis tool. Not a prescription service. The orientation guides and app observations reduce anxiety and help users prepare for dermatologist visits — they do not replace clinical assessment.
