If your acne is not improving even after stopping Isotroin a year ago, it likely means the root cause is still untreated. Consult a dermatologist for a reassessment of your persistent acne. Your doctor will prescribe suitable medicines after evaluation of the underlying cause.

  1. Evaluation of Current Acne Status

    • Consult a dermatologist to reassess your acne type and severity, especially since isotretinoin was ineffective.

  2. Alternative Medical Treatments

    • Consider other options like topical/oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies (e.g., oral contraceptives), or newer treatments.

  3. Lifestyle and Skincare Adjustments

    • Adopt a gentle skincare routine and avoid irritants. Lifestyle changes can also impact acne.

  4. Diagnostic Tests

    • Hormonal evaluations may be necessary if hormonal acne is suspected.

  5. Referral to Specialists

    • See a dermatologist or endocrinologist for persistent or hormonally-driven acne.

  6. Psychological Support

    • Recognize the emotional impact of acne and seek support or counseling if needed.

  7. Follow-up and Monitoring

    • Regular follow-ups are crucial to monitor and adjust treatment as necessary.
