Acne and isotretinoin
I took 5mg glotret ( isotretinoin) per day for 2 months and took 8mg sotret (isotretinoin) per day for 4 months continously. After stopping isotretinoin for 3 months again i took 8mg sotret (isotretinoin) for 1 month without check up to doctor, can i take 2 months more of 20 mg isotretinoin per day? Im afraid of the side efects it has on eyes, nose, ears and internal organs like liver, will it cause harm if i take 20mg isotretinoin per day for 2 month, Since i took isotretinoin for for 6 months and if again i take will it be harmful for the body?

Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
