Are White Rings On The Tongue A Side Effect Of Accutane?

I ve got strange white rings on my tounge that come and go. I ve always had geographic tongue, but the rings seem recent. I ve had an std check and everything was ok, on accutane, so was wondering if that may or may not be a contributing factor? Thanks

This is not a usual side effect from Accutane. I would think this is just a new manifestation of your geographic tongue. I would not change your medication or treatment plan at this time
