Should I hop off Accutane (he thinks I should continue it for 3 more months)?

Honest655473
I’ve been on accutane for about 4 months now. When I first started my treatment I had very low aacne(a few pimples) but my cheeks were pretty red. Anyway, my skin is pretty clear with maybe an occasional pimple every 3 weeks that clears up in a day, however my cheeks are still just as red as before. I just saw my dermatologist and he suggested it’s a result from roaccutane and maybe my eczema. My question is would it be safe to okay to hop off roaccutane because I just want the redness to go
