Hello,
Fusidic acid and minocycline are both antibiotics which are used for the treatment of acne. Treatment options include topical and oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, hormonal therapy, dermabrasion , phototherapy and laser resurfacing. Normally a combination of treatments is followed and if nothing proves effective then dermabrasion and laser therapy are useful. You can discuss these treatment options with your dermatologist.
05% isotretinoin gel is rarely indicated as a suppressive treatment for widespread disfiguring sebaceous hyperplasia. Oral isotretinoin should be prescribed by a physician who is experienced in oral retinoid therapy and only for patients without contraindications.
thanks james. i also took isotretinoin for treatment of body acne. since isotretinoin is also a drug used for some cancer/chemo treatment, will that delay the development of hiv antibody?

Thank you for the attention . I'm sorry for my bad english . I hope that you have understand my problems !!!
The treatment requires close medical supervision by a dermatologist because the drug has many known side effects (many of which can be severe). About 25% of patients may relapse after one treatment. In those cases, a second treatment for another 4-6 months may be indicated to obtain desired results.

It is often recommended that one lets a few months pass between the two treatments, because the condition can actually improve somewhat in the time after stopping the treatment and waiting a few months also gives the body a chance to recover. Occasionally a third or even a fourth course is used, but the benefits are often less substantial.
5 weeks pregnant and I have been taking the isotretinoin drug for my acne. Abortion is higly recommended since isotretinoin can cause severe defects on the baby. Wondering if taking abortion pills is safe and effective. Please help.
There was a male on this forum who said he developed sticky skin after cancer treatment. Isotretinoin is a retinoid, related to Vitamin A. Overdose of vit A has its own side effects. I am still in extensive research mode, so maybe investigate all this and see if you can relate to anything. Some also say its a mould infection.
Also do research on Isotretinoin. It is also used to treat some cancers. There is also people on the site who have mentioned that they have developed Acquired Cutaneous adherence syndrome known as stick skin syndrome since they have had treatments for their cancer.

Hi,
Isotretinoin (INN) is a medication used for the treatment of severe acne.Accutane is the most common trade name for this drug.
Currently, isotretinoin continues to be used only after other acne treatments fail to produce results.

There is also a person complaining about sticky skin after receiving cancer treatment. Isotretinoin is a retinoid related to vitamin A. I am investigationg all roots, to try find something in common with all these people experiencing sticky skin. There has to date 5 years current down the line and no MD or Dermatologist who can give me a proper diagnosis with proper treatment to assist or cure this. So I just do a lot of research hoping to find some simularity in all this.
I have been using Isotretinoin since July 2021, and the cumulative dosage is about 100mg/kg. After I stopped using Isotretinoin, I found that my eyes were very dry, and it has been maintained for about a month and a half. I know that Isotretinoin can inhibit the secretion of body oil. I want to know whether the drug's inhibition of sebaceous glands is permanent? Will the secretion of oil recover slowly over time? Permanent dry eye is a disaster for me.
Treatment consists of topical or oral antibiotics,isotretinoin, laser treatment and photodynamic therapy. Sunscreens, particularly those that protect against ultraviolet A and B light waves and have a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 13 or higher, are recommended for all people with rosacea.
