Will my acne get worse if I only have mild occasional breakouts?

September 7, 2019
Asked By:cosmeticcurls in Carlsbad, CA

My derm wants to put me on Accutane. I don’t have bad acne, just occasional hormonal breakouts. Unfortunately they haven’t responded to anything including antibiotics and topicals so as a last resort he wants to prescribe me Accutane. I’m worried since my acne isn’t bad, not nearly cystic just stubborn few pimples I’ve had on my face for a few months, will accutane make my zits worse since I don’t have terrible acne which accutane is typically prescribed for?
