Roaccutance Breakout After 6 Weeks of Use?

Question

i have been on roaccutane for about 6 weeks, acne cleared really well until about 7 days ago it started breaking out again. does this mean it have stopped working? or could this be a delayed initial outbreak that some people suffer from?

A typical course of Roaccutane is 5 months.  It can take 3 to 4 months to have full control so do not be discouraged.  Make sure you visit your dermatologist monthly for assessment and blood tests.
