Qualms before isotretinoin therapy
I have suffered from acne since I was a teenager. I'm 27 now. I recently went to a dermatologist who recommended isotretinoin for 22months (I weigh 60 kgs). I don't have severe acne but it is persistent inspite of using benzoyl peroxide and tretinoin cream. So far that I have read on the internet, most isotretinoin treatments last for 6 months. Isn't 22 months a long stretch?
