Persistent Acne, maybe cyst/nodule

2018-01-13 16:05:06
I've had persistent acne, almost like lumps/cysts in a specific region of my face. My doctor prescribed me Isotretinoin - 20 mg. I think I have an initial breakout now, that my acne has become red, somewhat swollen. It used to pain earlier, but now it doesn't pain as much as it used to. They have become sort of hard.

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,,

Continue isotretinoin.. They will take time to resolve. If very long standing lupms they may need drainage like an abscess by a dermatologist or surgeon.
