Acne and tiny bumps on face

2019-10-22 17:51:15
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.
Next Steps
please consult a dermatologist in person
