Black spots and acne scars typically take much longer to go away, although isotane mostly helps prevent new pimples. Even when the acne is improving, marks frequently persist. Because isotretinoin can cause dryness and irritation, wear sunscreen every day, refrain from squeezing pimples, and maintain moisturised skin. After the acne is under control, your dermatologist might recommend pigmentation creams or treatments like chemical peels, microneedling, or laser therapy for scars. Since scar and spot recovery typically takes many months, patience is crucial.

Symptoms of Acne
- Acne symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, cystic lesions, and nodules. Redness and oiliness are common, with lesions typically showing on the face, forehead, chest, upper back, and shoulders.
Use of Isotane-20 Capsule 10
- Isotane-20 Capsule contains isotretinoin, a retinoid for severe nodular acne unresponsive to other treatments. It reduces sebum production and helps prevent clogged pores and bacterial growth.
Black Spots and Scars in Acne
- Black spots and scars may develop as post-inflammatory changes from acne lesions. These are common and part of the skin's healing process.

I took isotane for a month on a doctor's advice since I had a lot of pimples on my face, but the markings are still there. What would you advise me to do?

While isotane helps manage active pimples, black patches and acne marks typically take months to go away. Use a mild moisturiser and sunscreen every day, stick to your dermatologist's treatment plan, and refrain from picking or squeezing pimples since this exacerbates blemishes. If marks are still there, doctors may later treat them with chemical peels, lasers, or creams containing retinoids, azelaic acid, or niacinamide. Be patient because pigmentation and acne scars typically resolve gradually.
