Can I take accutane every other day?

So my derm said either I take 40mg a day or I don’t take it. But he doesn’t want to do low dose treatment. However 40mg is too much for me, my skin is peeling crazy and I have other side effects. But I also don’t want to stop it. So now I have the idea of taking 40mg like 2 or 3 times a month, is that possible? I just started taking accutane
