Food like oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne.

One of the side effects of flax seeds oil supplement is bleeding. Isotretinoin tablets can sometimes causes nosebleed. If you have been noticing unexplained bleeding of any kind I suggest you stop flax seeds oil tablet.

We need to know exactly, for how long you have been using the medicines and the improvement achieved. Visit a dermatologist for a realistic assessment of your condition. It is not advisable to continue tab isotane without a dermatologist's consultation.

Yes you can use it. But remember it causes dehydration. So its better to use it after dinner at night. Also take plenty of fluids like juices and water. Avoid tea coffee and hot beverage.

Hi Thanks for your query.
Pimples occur mainly due to hormonal imbalances which causes an overproduction of oil and cells inside a skin follicle. They block the opening of the skin pore and cause the follicle under the skin to swell and become red. It usually starts in teenage, but most of the time lasts into adulthood.
