Should I hop on Accutane at 16

[NotGreyNewAcc]

I was on Accutane for like a year and a half in like 7-8 maybe 9th grade. It got rid of my acne at the time but once I got off I still have some acne and red spots or uneven areas. I’m thinking of going back on now at 16, should I? What about height and growth plates?
