Hi, acne people!

I finished my second course of accutane one month ago, and am unable to understand what my skin is doing. For the first time since I started the course, I have two or three small spots with pus in the heads. They are not very red or sore, and are on the left side of my mouth/chin.

While I understand this could be indicative of a relapse, I don't understand why. My first course of accutane (five years ago) was 20mg/day for 3 months, and it took at least a year for my acne to return at all.

This course, I've probably taken around 60mg/day for 6 months. That's loads more than the first time! How could I relapse with small whiteheads after only a month? Furthermore, my skin is still bone dry - let me rub it again - mmm~, yes, most dry~! Not flaky anymore, but it doesn't feel oily at all.

I'm so consumed with worry...

I also have little bumps of red, irritated skin every few days with no pus in them, that dissapear after a day or two. These started appearing halfway-through my second accutane course! They don't bother me so much, though.
