should i stop taking roaccutane

Hi, I have been taking roaccutane for 6 months now 25mg, my skin is great but the side affects were so bad(peeling skin) that i stopped taking the medication 7 days ago. I cannot get an appointment with my doctor for 5 weeks and I am worried that my spots will come back. What do you think?

You are likely to experience a remission from acne providing you took Roaccutane for between 16 and 24 weeks at 0.5mg x kg bodyweight/per day.
Did your doctor not arrange a follow up appointment for a month after you were due to finish Roaccutane? They are supposed to do a pregnancy test plus check your cholesterol and liver function about a month after you complete your course. Eloise x
