You have taken 2400 mg of isotretinoin, it's time to stop if acne is gone but continue with topical agents (ointment and facewashes) l not containing any retinoid further, and check your lipid profile that is very important. Also you can further consult in private and share pics of affected area to get proper prescription.

Hi lybrate-user, your face has darkened because one of the side effects of isotretinoin is it makes your skin more sensitive to sunlight. While starting anyone on isotretinoin, it is imperative to avoid sun exposure and wear sunscreen at all times.

Good evening lybrate-user. I will begin straight with the answer, yes, isotretinoin can cause irregularities in your menstrual cycles. It would be advisable to stop it for the time being. You are also breastfeeding your baby so I would recommend you to stop acutret for now. Also, re consult your dermatologist as well as your gynaecologist. There may be many different reasons for your cycle irregularities including stress, lack of sleep or proper diet in addition to other factors.

Use tea tree face wash and toner twice daily. Use aha glow face wash once in a day.
Use sunscreen with spf 30 daily.
Use natural face pack of multani mitti and lemon 2 times a week.
You can also use apple cider vinegar for 5 minutes after washing your face and splash it clean with water. Most important is diet- do not eat junk, eat more vegetables and fruits especially with vitamin c.
