So i've finished my 8 month course last May and my skin has been... alright. A couple large zits but that's pretty much it. Yet in the past 1 1/2 months, a lot (relatively) of nose acne started to develop.
I didn't get nose acne once during my course and it was extremely uncommon BEFORE i took accutane, so there has to be some link to accutane. In this past month I have gotten at least 6 nose zits, as soon as once goes another one (or several) pops up. What is happening? I noticed my pore sizes on my nose shrunk a lot since accutane (and a lot of oil is developing in that area). Can anyone provide insight on what could be happening and how I could fix it? It's incredibly frustrating.

I finished Accutane in December. I ordered the regimen right away for maintenance. I don't need it anymore because I haven't had a pimple since February. The acne.org BP is amazing and I saw a difference right away. I recommend looking into the regimen and use a reduced version of it on your nose. It could be short term, but if you're squeezing or using various products you could make your problem bigger.

Alright, I'll look into it. I'm worried it might be too drying.
