Isotretinoin for persistent mild acne?

2026-05-02 08:08:31
I am an 18 year old male, 55kg, from Indore. I have been dealing with face and chest acne for 5 years along with extremely oily skin. I have been consistent with basic skincare for 2 years. I use Adapalene + Clindamycin phosphate gel (sandwich method, every other day) and my skin clears up within 2 weeks of regular use. However acne returns when I stop or become inconsistent. I am tired of being dependent on topical treatment long term and want a permanent solution. I am considering isotretinoin. My questions: 1. Am I a suitable candidate given my    acne is mild but persistent? 2. What dose would you recommend for    my weight (55kg)? 3. What precautions should I take    during summers specifically? 4. Which brand would you recommend ?
