2 rounds of Accutane and my acne has come back - what can be done?
Compassionate8409Aug 4, 2022
I have taken accutane once before for 6 months. After my 1st time I was clear for about 6 months. As I was approaching my senior year my skin started to purge again. Went on it again a 2nd time I stayed on it for 6 months again and it completely destroyed my mental health, so my dermatologist told me we need to stop. I came back and told her my skin was good and I wasn’t breaking out anymore, she was satisfied with me meeting the cumulative dose so we stopped. However it’s coming back again :(
