So I decided to get back on my birth control and it’s been like 3 weeks since I got back on it bc I noticed that I was breaking out from the day I got off of it. If I take accutane again and give off birth control in the future will this happen again? Like will this happen every time I start/stop birth control pills/any type of birth control? Or will this second round of accutane help and prevent that from ever happening again?! Thank you.
