Suffering from acne
I have acne .it is itchy .I am on medication with 10mg isotretinoin for about 5 months but big bumps of acne keeps on coming and it is leaving a mark behind. I have read online about tretinoin gel 0.025%. can I use that ? Please suggest how to treat acne and most pigmentation
No... 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 more photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Hello dear. Add a non comedogenic moisturiser to your skincare routine as isotretinoin, even as low as 10 mg, can cause dryness leading to itching and further aggravating acne and scarring
