17y/o
I ended accutane about 3-4 months ago
I noticed my forehead has gotten a little bit more oily - nothing too serious
and my redness from previous acne has started to fade
About 2 weeks ago I had a break out and again this week.
After accutane all i used was a simple face wash and now aztec clay (bentonite clay)
At what point should I be worried?
Should I give it a week or two before contacting doc?
Also, my eczema flared up - Could this be stress derived breakout? Kinda pissed tbh but I need to get this under control
This breakout is nothing like it used to be - but i cannot get it under control

Thanks

Well if anyone stumbles across this with a similar problem....
I thought maybe I would have needed another accutane course but luckily skin rebounded.
Face is looking clearer than what it was even before the breakout
I upped zinc intake (30mg at least), fish oil and some magnesium ++++probiotic
Started washing face less often and just cold water in the morning
Yep looking good now
I think I found a solid regimen (y)
