Isotretinoin is the drug of choice for severe acne but that doesn't guarantee acne will never appear again. It is given to control severe acne which may damage your face by causing scars. Few acne may still appear even after successful treatment but it can be controlled with simple measures then. Let your treating dermatologist decide whether to continue or stop the medicine.
Next Steps
continue follow up with your dermatologist to avoid relapse

Breakouts happen initially with isotretinoin for some patients , we have to compare before and after pictures of yours to see how well u responded to the treatment and then decide next plan of treatment
Next Steps
