Posted under Accutane q&a

What are the chances of acne recurring after Accutane for someone with mild acne?

jrift
Basic info: 5 month course of accutane, 40 mg/day 1 month, 60/day for the rest, 160 lb male, finished 3.5 mo ago. (19 years old) My skin never really acted up to much, worst was about a year ago (18 y/o) very rarely any cystic, probably only 2-3 I can remember ever, otherwise mild. Based on my age and acne type, are the chances of acne returning low? Also, since I stopped I sometimes get these tiny red marks that are flat, i think they are caused by my bha cleanser, is this possible?
