I have always had acne since 4th grade. In HS i used BC and it cleared. in college i stopped BC. My acne came back. I did 1 round at 6months of accutane, i was clear but it came back. I did a 2nd round for only 3 months.I was acne free for 5 years. Now i have acne yet again.I am considering a 3rd which my Derm said would be the last round ever. My husband and I have yet to have kids but want to once i get my acne under control. i am concerned i do it, get clear, have a baby and i get acne again.
