At that dose it shouldn't, just keep usage to under a year
 
No, there has not been good evidence showing that accutane stunts growth, and especially at such a low dose nothing is gonna happen.

nah i took it for a while around 15-16. Im 6'4
 
it will stunt growth as even accutane microdose is considered vit a megadose. Whether take it or not depends on your height, tanner stage and how bad your acne is

You for example should not take it as you can easilly make it to 6' and it sounds like your acne isnt that bad
