My dermatologist prescribed me 20mg for mild to moderate but persistent acne. She only asked me to take it for a month. I heard that you should complete yourcumulativedosage depending on your weight to make sure your acne doesn't come back. I've been taking it for a little more than a month and my acne has cleared considerably. I have no new acne spots since past two weeks.

My question is: Should I take 20mg for 10 months -- which is my cumulative dosage -- even after my acne has cleared in a month or can I quit it after like 2 or 3 months?

Maybe your derm thinks that your acne isnt like uncontrollable so she put you on accutane for a month to clear whatever there is right now and then give you a good skincare routine to keep your skin clear

How did you get the medication if she only prescribed it for a month? Did she allow you to continue?
