Asked By:twanp in Boston, MA

Male, 20, 121lbs, 5'11, . Been off accutane for around 2 weeks now and starting to get under-skin bumps around the hairline. Should I start taking accutane again? How long should the treatment last for me and is there a waiting time between short accutane courses or should I continue asap? Would a higher dosage be more suitable for me? Maybe moving on to 20mg?
