Cannot answer without history. And you cannot write prescription for 6 months. It is always good to keep monthly follow up

Are you married ?
If not or you are not going to marry a whole another year only then you can continue isotretinoin to prevent relapse of your acne and that will shrink down the size for your sebaceous gland..
