20(M)
Recently I started getting tiny bumps that quickly turned into red pimples. After thinking about it for a while, I finally went to a dermatologist today. She asked me some basic questions, examined my skin for a minute, and gave me two tablets, one of which is isotretinoin 20 mg to be taken daily for a month, then see her again. She also prescribed a face wash, a moisturizer and sunscreen (the images are below). I'd appreciate a review of these products if anyone has used them.

Directly to isotretinoin?! I don't want to second‑guess a doctor, but that's usually the last resort when milder treatments fail. It's very potent and comes with a purge phase – it can get worse before it gets better. Use sunscreen diligently, as these chemicals make the skin very sensitive. I'm not familiar enough to comment on the products. Good luck, bro
Government hospital dermatologist??
