Is Isotroin-20 safe to take for painful, deep pimples that keep coming back, and will it cause any risks for future pregnancies, make my skin worse after I stop, change my skin tone, or cause major hair loss during or after treatment?
Isotroin-20 (isotretinoin) is highly effective for this. To reassure you, it is safe for future pregnancies once stopped, but you must strictly avoid pregnancy during treatment and for one month after. It generally provides long-term clearance, so your skin won't worsen after stopping. It does not change your natural skin tone, though temporary redness is common. While mild, temporary hair thinning can sometimes occur, significant hair loss is very rare and typically resolves after treatment. Please discuss this with your dermatologist to ensure a safe, monitored plan.
