I've been on accurate since mid November pretty consistently (with small gaps due to getting the prescription mailed but usually less than a week). I was told I had cystic acne and although it was worsened at first it started to clear up. I've been off for about 5 weeks now due to a blood work issue due to an illness and am now about to start it again. If I've been off for this long and start taking it again will I go through the acne getting worse again? Age 17 weight 145 height 5' 10"

If you stop taking 10mg Accutane after taking it
for one week it shouldn't make your acne worse. One week on that low of a dose
