Hello,
As per literature, one should get pregnant after 6 months of completion of course. Some doctors propose one month gap between leaving the medicine and getting pregnant, but preferably it should be more than one month. I advise you not to take any chances and try conception after 4-5 months of stopping Accutane.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
