I'm sorry to hear that.. thats scary.
I think the reason it can come back more easily in males is because their normal testosterone alone can cause acne thats why males have much severe acne as compared to females. Unfortunately, what makes a man a man, causes acne..whereas, females have fluctuating hormones depending on the time of the month and may have messed up cycles. And if their hormonal problems are solved, their acne should clear up too.
Accutane doesn't effect your hormones.. it just sucks up the sebaceous glands and dries everything up.
