Day 40 on Accutane and skin is HORRENDOUS?!

Hi, My name is Sophie and I started my Accutane journey 40 days ago and boy has it been an absolute rollarcoaster. 
I'm taking 30mg a day prescribed by my dermatologist in England, U.K.

The first few weeks were okay, skin started to clear up pretty well (there were still about 6 active spots though) and the oil production even now is SO much less.
However, over the past few days my skin has got absolutely HORRENDOUS. It's breaking out everywhere - even my forehead where I don't ever breakout! I honestly must have over 10 active spots right now :(

I just wondered whether anyone else has had dreadful skin at this time in their accutane journey?
I'm experiencing all the normal side effects- dry lips, dry skin, dry skin on my body etc.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

I know my derm talked to me about accutane and she warned me if I start it then my skin will get worse before it gets better and it takes a few months to work. Drinking lots of water will help along with lotion and chapstick to ease the dryness.
