Treatment depends on the grade..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.

The course of Isotretinoin is longer depending on the grade and severity of the acne. For some people after starting isotretinoin they see purging of the acne that is completely normal, so don't worry. You should not discontinue the medication on your own. It has to be taken under doctor's supervision. And do not discontinue till your dermatologist asks you to. Just be patient and let the medication do it's job.
