Accepted Answer

Isotretinoin, the active ingredient in Acutret, can potentially worsen IBS symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. It may also affect hormone levels, which can be concerning for PCOD. For your specific case, it is best to consult with your doctor to discuss the potential risks and benefits of continuing Acutret 20mg. They may suggest alternative treatments or adjust the dosage to minimize any negative effects on your PCOD and IBS.

Question 4

I have been using benzoyl peroxide face wash and deriva bpo and cms gel as night cream from 16 days still no results are found

Accepted Answer

The treatment of acne differs according to the grade of involvement. Some people have more oilyness on the face which results in breakouts. After completing treatment for controlling the active breakouts, tablets can be stopped and creams need to be continued to prevent recurrence. Diet and lifestyle modifications are also important. Please don't do any self treatment such as over the counter Steroid creams. Don't burst the pimples with your fingers as it can result in ugly scars. The marks and pores left behind after the pimples heal can also be treated. Please call me or send your photos through online consult option for detailed prescription and diet advice.,,
