i got prescibed accutane due to chest acne and i had some light acne on face in december 2017 and i carried on taking the 20mg dose till january 2018
then i quit accutane due to the depression i was getting and i didnt tell my doctor that i had quit accutane but she still prescribes me till this day  a higher dose but i dont take it at all. january to june i had pretty much clear skin and a clear chest.
but now my acne is returning on my face not my chest.
what should i do???
i currently have 60mg of accutane laying around should i just start it on 60mg accutane or leave it as it is???

Hi Xav,

I strongly believe that you made the right choice by quitting Accutane. So, my suggestion to you is to remain off of stay the hell away from it.

Question: From January to June, did you have clear skin without Accutane?

If so, I suspect you are doing something that is triggering your acne. If you could remove this trigger then you wouldn't need acne.
