Accutane is normally only prescribed after two different oral antibiotics have been tried in conjunction with topical meds. Therefore it is unlikely to be prescribed to someone so young. It is not prescribed for acne occuring before puberty, for which referal to an endocrinologist is necessary.
Accutane has many potential side effects and is not a first line treatment for acne.
