Hello Guys.

I finished a 5 month accutane course 5 days ago. However I have already started to get small whiteheads and or milia. Is this normal? Could it be that the skin is starting to adjust ltself? - I'm very sad about it

If you're relapsing, it'll be more progressive, over a more prolonged period of time (a few weeks). More likely, your skin is picking up in sebum production (to return to pre-accutane rates), and the change is manifesting in the appearance of (likely temporary) lesions.

You can treat the milia (or whiteheads) with gentle exfoliation (or a chemical exfoliant such as salicylic acid).
