Acne and RA
I am an RA patient from last one year. I am asymptomatic meaning I have no pain whatsoever few months after I was diagnosed however for precautionary purposes I have been prescribed tofadoz 5 mg twice a day and hcqs 300 along with b12, vitamin d weekly. I have seen a sudden plurge in my acne since the last 5 months. I believe this is because of medication. I was already advised by dermat for isotretinoin 10 mg once a day for a month and adapelene once in the night. However, isotretinoin is not stopping my breakout even after a week's use. I can see a lot of plurging everyday. Please advise what can be the solution to this?
