Day 151 on Accutane and Getting Bumps On Skin, Is This Normal This Far In?

Ok so i got 79 days left on accutane (almost three months) and i've been getting these really tiny bumps for a few weeks(they're pink and barely noticeable) i'm getting them on my forehead and on my temples especially (places where i barely broke out before). it's just a few bumps that come and go.

Do you think it's normal to be getting these at this stage of the treatment?thanks
