Neil Sadick, MD · Answer

Reoccurring Staph infections can be resistant to multiple antibiotics, it is best to get the lesions cultured for sensitivity then proceed with necessary treatment. Regarding treatment with  Accutane, it  will dry out your skin, which may make your skin more susceptible to infections. It would be best to clear your Staph infection before moving forward.
