Wishing effects of Accutane lasted longer than 6 months, should I do a second treatment?

nic8727
Hello,I was on accutane for 5 months-20 mg the first month, 30 mg the last four. I have been off of it for 7 months and up until the last month or two had clear skin. All of a sudden it is starting to creep back up all over my face. Not cystic as before but I break out more and more each day and I worry it will slowly become worse. I was wondering if I did not receive enough with the last treatment and need to undergo a second round of accutane or if it will just return again? I am a 27 year old woman.
