I am 28 years old and recently married. I had nodular/ cystic acne so I visited skin specialist in gurgaon. She prescribed 20 mg of sotret. When I read about the side effects of sotret, I stopped the medication after 2 months. Although acne got better than before but not completely. I visited another skin specialist, she also recommended sotret only. I don't want to take these heavy medications. Please suggest alternative.

don't worry... treatment depends on the grade... safe medicine available...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.
