Taking Accutane for the 3rd Time, only Finished Second Round Two Months Ago, Too Soon?

Wayne in Saskatoon
I'll try to keep this short. I took a 5 month, 80mg/day course of accutane when I was 15. This kept me clear for around a year. I just finished my second course of accutane 8 month, 40mg/day two months ago. I have already began to notice the condition of my skin begin to deteriorate. How could it happen so quickly? The second course seemed to clean my skin up so well, is it already time for a 3rd course? I am terrified of my skin returning to what it was previously.
