Why am I getting so much acne 3 months after finishing Accutane?

Question

I was on accutane for 6 months, and my skin had cleared up very nicely. I got off around 3 months ago with perfectly clear skin. However, throughout the past month and a half i had started to notice pimples on my face, then all of a sudden my whole face was full blown with acne.

​Acne requires a combination approach to get long-term improvement. I recommend a combination of Cosmelan, salt facials, peels, lasers, microneedling with PRP, blue light, radiofrequency and isotretinoin. I suggest getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer​

Thank you for your question. I'm sorry to hear about your acne returning after isotretinoin therapy. Unfortunately, there is no cure for acne, and acne recurrence is not uncommon after Accutane. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist to discuss further treatment options. Take care and good luck.
