Which would be better: Long term microdose or another full round of accutane? (photos)

Sus_Anne
I’m 40 years and I have struggled with acne since I was 10. I tried EVERYTHING – nothing helped. So since 2008 I’ve done 5 accutane rounds: 1st round 18 months with 30 mg daily 2nd, 3rd and 4th rounds: 6 month with 30 mg daily 5th round: 15 months with 10 mg daily My skin is perfect with accutane, but it all comes back eventually. I consider staying on a very low dose for some years (maybe 20-30 mg per week or even less). Would that be a good idea?
