No..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..

It is isotretinoin 20mg which is usually prescribed for moderate to severe acne. Initially when started, there is a flare up for around 4-6weeks, and later the acne reduces.
