Will Acne Return if I Stop Taking Accutane?

Thank you for your question!
It all depends on the dosage of Accutane that you have already taken. There is an appropriate cumulative dose that your doctor prescribes according to your weight. If you have reached that dose your chances of getting a good outcome are high. Eighty percent of the patients who take accutane are cured from their acne or at least have a very significant improvement with respect to their baseline acne. Twenty percent have a chance of relapse and might need to take another course. So all you have to do is to take the appropriate dose and then wait and see. 
Hope this helps!

It usually takes 5 months to completely clear severe nodulocystic acne with Accutane therapy. 80% of cases will never have acne ever again based on my experience. 20% will experience some form of acne down the road usually needing milder treatments.I hope this is helpful.Steven Greene MD, Advanced Dermatology and Laser Institute of Seattle
