Medicine for cystic acne
I have been prescribed isotroin-5 capsule (10 caps, one every 3 days for a total of one month) every night after dinner. The same
prescription has the doctor telling me to take Dox SL capsule (Doxycycline) in mornings for 5 consecutive days. Thing is, I checked on internet and many sites clearly say that if you are using Doxycycline , you should not use isotretinoin and vice versa. So, I need to get an expert's advice as to what should I do here! Kindly advise

No.. 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.
