Male, 24,5'5,61 kg. I had acne breakout on my forehead around march. It starts will a tiny bump then grows bigger. Applying antiseptic would cause tiny whitehead on that. Then after popping another whitehead appears on the same spot. It leaves a scar in the end. I went to a derm. And he prescribed faceclin gel, melaglow cream, aloederm cream, a face wash gel, lymecycline 408 and isotretinoin 20 mg. I am using all of them except isotretinoin. I am heavily scared about the side effects. Should I continue with the rest of the meds? I have back acne also and he prescribed the same for that too.
