The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,

Hello Ms. lybrate-user. I understand your concern very well. As you are not planning to conceive anywhere in the near future you can take isotretinoin for your acne. It's always best to follow up with a dermatologist and monitor your progress. Usually, topical retinoic acid preparations are preferred in mild to moderate acne but as you have not mentioned the stage of your condition I will assume you have moderate acne and were prescribed oral isotretinoin. Please make sure that you start with the lowest dose possible and move up the dose accordingly. Also, if you plan to take it for a longer duration >4 week please get your lft and lipid profile done as well. As you are in this age group where people tend to have skin problems due to the influence of hormones you need not be worried. According to literature, it is advised people taking isotretinoin should not donate blood. (just for your kind knowledge) I hope you will do great in the future. Best wishes.

From your history it sounds like you are having urticaria (one type of allergic reaction) which is triggered by different factors like infections (mostly resp tract infections) food, dust allergy, environmental chages etc. For itching you can take levocetrizine monteleukast combination tablet once daily at night for 2 to 3 wks and for rashes apply natural moisturizer like coconut oil/ vaseline on whole body. If it stil persists then may need to start short course of oral steroid (always after proper diagnosis of the condition and dermatological consultation). Avoid trigger factors if you find any. Thanks.
