A member asked:
I have been taking isotreitoine (accutane) for about 7 years. starting the treatment but leaving it when acne stops. what is the main problem of that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Return of acne: The biggest problem would just be that the acne would probably return eventually. Once you get it clear, you might try switching to something else, like a topical cream/gel/face wash, etc. To see if that keeps it away.
