Pimple came back after Isotretinoin

2019-02-24 10:53:09
I was prescribed isotretinoin, I had it for 4 months and I discontinued because I went on a trip and could not find the medicine there. I thought it would be okay since my acne cleared up. Now it's been 2 months and I am breaking out again. What should I do? Is it because of my discontinuation of the medicine?
