It is common for Acutret 20 mg to initially worsen pimples. This is usually temporary and often improves after a few weeks. Follow your dermatologist's advice, use gentle moisturisers, and avoid harsh soaps. If pimples severely worsen, become painful, or you notice other side effects, contact your doctor promptly.

Initial Breakout:
- It's common for acne to worsen initially when starting isotretinoin like Acutret. This phase can last a few weeks.
Why It Happens:
- The medication reduces oil production and skin cell buildup, which can temporarily increase inflammation and peeling.
Specific Concerns:
- Acne on hands is less typical, but dryness and irritation can occur. If severe or painful, consult your doctor.
Next Steps:
- Continue taking Acutret as prescribed. Inform your dermatologist about the changes for possible dose adjustments or skincare advice.
Important:
- Do not stop the medication without consulting your doctor to avoid affecting treatment outcomes.
