Isotretinoin
acne
"I'm 26 years old and had severe acne at around 21. My dermatologist prescribed me Accutane for six months. At first my acne seemed to increase but then after a couple of months my face started to clear up. I had lots of side-effects. I had dry skin all over, including eyes, lips and nose. The use of Accutane affected my menstruation. Nowadays in fact I am getting spots and blemishes again due to my hormonal imbalance. I still have dry nose and I use petroleum jelly . Unfortunately I am getting lots of spots lately again after 5 years."
