Breaking out on isotroin

2020-12-09 13:03:07
Hi, I had mild acne and my doctor suggested isotroin 20mg. It's almost been 2 months now and I'm still breaking out. Is this normal or should I stop the medication?

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.
