Three months of oral isotretinoin is still early in the treatment course, and it often takes longer to see significant improvement. Your dermatologist may consider adjusting your daily dose based on your weight to reach the target cumulative dose. Importantly, please ensure you do not take oral doxycycline and isotretinoin together, as this combination can cause serious pressure in the brain. I highly recommend discussing your current progress and all concurrent medications, including deflazacort, with your dermatologist to safely tailor your next steps.
