Isotretinoin on its own doesn't cause vaginal infections. It makes vaginal and other mucosal surfaces dry which makes vaginal mucosa sore. That makes it vulnerable to infections like candidiasis and others.

No. It 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.
