Hi,
As you said you suffer from acne vulgaris. You took isotretinoin tablets, but stopped. I would like to say that please take tablets of azithromycine thrice a week for few months, which is safe. And you may continue isotretinoin in low dose 5 mg.
And apply clindamycine gel on lesions at night. Have face wash like acmed for cleansing the face.
Avoid stress and anxiety. Avoid oily food. And have patience for the good result. You may get good result after few months.
Thanks.
