Has anyone found going on accutane has stopped their compulsion to squeeze sebaceous filaments/pimples/ clogged pores/ blackheads?

For me my picking is always to extract clogged pores but I’m so sick of doing it, my skin goes dry and peels, they fill back up and the cycle starts again. I have oily skin so I know having sebum plugs etc is seen as normal but I’ve tried every skincare product to minimize/ get rid of them- nothing works and I just want there to be nothing to pick at anymore!

About a year ago I had a consultation with an online derm who was happy to prescribe me a low dose, but I chickened out. Now back to the point where I just want this to all stop.
