I've been using tretinex -isotretinoin, around 3 months, 3 pills per week, but i left it in home during a 3 weeks vacation, would acne come back during this time?

Possible: Since acne is not a life threatening illness and you are otherwise healthy just restart taking your medication when you get home.
