Acne/Pimples
So I've been having acne for almost 2 months now. I do get one or two acne which are huge n painful. I also get painful pimples with whiteheads. I had previously severe acne, I used doxycycline which was prescribed to me, but the acne came back! So can i use Isotretinoin 5mg to get rid of it?

Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. 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.

Don't play with isotretinoin like this. It can be dangerous. Consult online for proper treatment of acne
