Good evening. Acne can be quite distressing condition. I hope you have been checked out for any overt hormonal issues such as pcos, cah etc which can lead to resistant acne. If there are hormonal factors complicating your acne, they will need to be managed as well. Isotretinoin when used for indicated patients, is a potent medication against acne but its use requires optimum dosage and duration and careful monitoring. Consult a dermatologist immediately and start treatment early so as to limit the amount of scarring that can occur with cystic acne.
