My fucking acne is starting to flare up anyone got any idea what the hell it could be?

This was supposed to be my last month but due to what happened the past 2 weeks I requested atleast one more month...
Basically my face has been completely clear for the last 3 months or so. Sam with my chest only back had a spots. On my last month my back cleared completely, but suddenly acne came back a bit on my chest(now gone) and on my face. I have like 2 spots around mouth, on each cheek like 1/2 and on some random other places another 2. A couple of these pimples went away but left a big red mark(my skin heals sooo bad with accutane practically any pimple gives me a red mark now)

Anyone has any idea why this might have happened? I didn't change anything apart from maybe the weather being sunnier so I got more sun exposure and the other thing was I am cutting weight(bodybuilding) for summer. So I went from 71 kg to now about 67. Do you think that might play a role since I was on constant 40 mg for the past 6 months and now due to the lower weight it is similar to an increased dose which gave me an IB?.
What do you think?

Also I know you shjoudlnt be in the sun,etc. but can sun exposure and tanning make red marks permanent?

I think you should wait a bit. I am in my final month too and last few days small bumps came up on my forehead, idk why. And we all know that Accutane slows the wound healing process, so those marks will fade away much faster once you're off this medication. And i have seen some people who were still breaking out a little at the end of their treatment, but it all settled down after like 1 month of finishing Accutane.

The weird thing though is that I was clear for such a long time on my face that it felt like being invincible. Drinking, fast food, even touching my face didn't break out. And suddenly I get so many random spots without doing anything that could cause them lol as in drink, fast food ,touch face,etc.

Soo weird. Well atleast I am on another month and hope Iwill stay clear everywhere now.
