Acne and tiny bumps on face
Hello,
I had recently visited a dermatologist for the sudden acne breakouts and tiny bumps on my cheeks and forehead. I was prescribed minoz er 65 mg initially, which showed very little improvement. I have recently been asked to start isotroin 5 mg daily. I am skeptical about taking isotroin because of it's bad reviews and side effects. Is it safe to use?

Isotretinoin is a drug which gives long term results after stopping too but must be taken under dermatologist supervision. Side effects can occur but are not serious and treatable if any.
