Isotretinoin is a very good drug for acne treatment especially in unmarried girls. But it do has its own side effects and if they are becoming bothersome then Med has to be discontinued.
The side effects which you are experiencing will get over in a day or two after withdrawing the medicine.
But I would like you to discuss this with your treating doctor before discontinuing it.
I hope this information will answer your query. If you have any other doubts you can ask me back or else you can close the discussion and rate the answer

Detailed Answer:
Isotretinoin is generally recommended for the treatment of nodular acne (very severe form of acne).
If you don't have acne problem then these pimples will go away in few days by itself without causing any scar.
If you don't have that kind of severy problem then I would
Not recommend using it.
In my opinion keep your face clean and oil free, protect from dirt, avoid junk food take proper sleep.
If the problem persists then consult a dermatologist for advise.
