Treatment for acne is isotretinoin. More so in resistant acne not responding to antibiotics and topicals. Having dry chapped lips is an expected side effect, so kindly use a lot of moisturizers on lip and drink a lot of water . If still persisting you’ May also ur dermatologist for a topical application for lip that can help you with the irritation on lips and nose. But nothing works like isotretinoin is a fact.
Next Steps
Start hydrating yourself internally and externally by applying a lot of moisturiser a
