Isotretinoin
acne
"This is only day 3 and so far I've experienced a little bit of bloating (may just be my period which started the same day. Yay) and super dry throat. My throat feels like it is never wet, so swallowing hurts a ton. I've tried numerous face washes and medications since middle school. Most recently I was using an acne facial cleanser, epiduo, minocycline, clindomycin, and birth control. This was most effective, but I'm still breaking out and have never been clear of acne. I'm a senior in high school now, and just started on 20mg/day. The side effects so far are doable and I've heard this is a permanent treatment so fingers crossed. I'm really hoping my acne won't get worse before it gets better like so many who use it."
