A member asked:

When after my acne is gone should i still take my oral meds for it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Maintenance dose: Acne is a chronic disease and will recur when you discontinue your meds, until it remits on your own. Taper from time to time and see what happens. Partner with your treating physician.
