Breaking out after quitting birth control?

I have had acne my whole life until I went on accutane last year. I’ve been on birth control for years now however I just really stopped bc of the mood swings it gave me. Now I’m breaking out again! Is my body just adjusting to the change in hormones or am I doomed to have acne again?

    This is most likely a result in a change in hormones due to you stopping the medication.  It should stop after it gets more adjusted, but if it continues after a while, you should see a doctor.  Hormones are a very common cause of acne, a dermatologist should be able to help with this if it persists.
