I was having severe acne problem. Doctor prescribed me oratane medicine (isotretinoin) for 6 months. Before using this medicine I went through blood tests and platelets count was 182,000. Now after 5 months treatment with oratane, I repeated cbc and my platelets count is 97,000 and large platelets are seen. Is it because of medicine or any other issue?

no problem.. 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 photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
