A member asked:
If i stop accutane early will my acne come back eventually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will anyway: Accutane / Isotretinoin keeps acne at bay for months or years after you stop. Unless it self-cures (and it eventually will), it will return and you can hit it with the big guns again.
