It is normal to still get pimples after only 20 days of treatment with Isotroin, as the medication typically takes several weeks to show noticeable effects. Acne that worsens during periods is often hormonal, so breakouts on the face and neck can continue for a while. Just continue the treatment as prescribed and keep your skincare simple and gentle. If the acne does not settle after a few more weeks, talk to your doctor.
