Posted on Wed, 18 Feb 2015
Question: Hello doc. I am 23 yr old.I have taken a treatment for acne under a very renowned doctor and the treatment worked magically. .I am undergoing isotroin20 cap from 19-11-2013.. and I am taking it continuously. My first question is should I continue taking the med if yes then for how long.
another question is acne scars are still making me feel low.i am applying papen glow face mask on mondays and tuesdays and hyde solution for 3 hours every day.. but acne marks are not going.what should I do. I am scared to try anything on my own because it took a lot of efforts by the respected doctor to cure my acne. Please suggest how to remove scars.

thanks and regards
doctor

Brief Answer:
acne treatment for best results with Isotretinoin

Detailed Answer:
Dear Patient
Thanks for your query to HCM.
Isotretinoin is a wonderful drug and takes care of acne efficiently.
It needs to be given for approx 4 to 6 months under a dermatologist's guidence.
Lipid profile needs to be repeated with the drug. The dose depends on severity of the acne.
Hyde gives decent results for hyperpigentation and is the cheapest option. Other options include peels etc.
You are on the right track and should follow up with your dermatologist on a regular basis for best results.
