Will my acne come back after my treatment of Accutane because my Nexplanon implant breaks me out?

jordanbrown71400Mar 12, 2019
I am on month 3 of my Accutane treatment and it’s going great but I noticed I broke out really bad right before I started my treatment because I got Nexplanon. I am on 50 mg of Accutane right now and I am afraid that after my treatment plan it will come right back because of my birth control. I do not want to get it taken out after my Accutane because it is so convenient. What should I do? P.s. I had really bad acne and oily skin before the Nexplanon but the birth control made is worse.
