Very rarely.. however alternate safe medicine available 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.

Very less likely. The delay is mostly due to other causes. A single month delay doesn't require any treatment, continue isotretinoin, but if the delay continues for 2 to 3 months, you'll need evaluation
