Genetics + Accutane Worked! Until Just Now...

So I have genetic acne, very severe. I stopped taking Accutane about 12 years ago, my skin cleared for a very loooong time and only recently I've been getting cystic acne again, specifically on my chin and under my jaw on both sides. I have never had acne in either of these places, my scarring is all over my cheeks and temples. The strangest part is that I'm the healthiest I've ever been- I eat little to no dairy, excercise regularly, drink tons of water etc etc. I am curious why I suddenly have intense zits again, is it stress or hormones or what? Gonna schedule a meeting with a dermatologist soon. Bah

What products do you currently use? Perhaps it was due to a switch in products since you started getting acne again.

It could be hormones. U can take a blood test to see if ur hormones are imbalanced.
