Is my acne coming back?

I had acne as a teenager, maybe even from 11 years of age. I am now almost 19 and started treatment 2 years ago. I was on the pill, multiple face peels, skin peels with acid, antibiotics and a cream. I was supposed to use a wash but i never used it. I relied n the pill and facial scrubs a few time a weeek to clear it up. A year later it was perfect, it looks clear. But my stubborn doctor said I didn't need my antibiotics anymore and I pleaded her to let me continue on them. But no... so i am now getting a few massive painful pimples every now and then as well as the ever lasting small micro scopic ones that are barely visible but you can feel them. So I want to know if it is possible that my acne is coming back. I wash my face with cleanser and scrub a few times a week with the usual moisturizing etc.. is it coming back?
