Dermatologist usually recommend that you just space out the medication application in order to control irritation. It's good that you plan on being off of it just for one week (the biggest mistake is that when people start noticing bad irritation, they just go completely off of the medication).
Maybe you should keep on spacing it out (like twice a week, or even once a week), and increase the length if your skin is still irritated.
Good luck!
