I am thinking about taking Izotek all the time, I got the drug 20 mg a day, and yet I have terrible resistance because I read on the internet about side effects. I have been struggling with acne since I was 13, maybe it's not that bad, but it is very annoying, because if you do something, it becomes inflamed right away. I am after an 8-week treatment with Tetralysalem, and the effects are really small, acne is still there, new lesions are appearing, maybe less often, but purulent. I would like to add that because of acne I have become a very closed person, with low self-esteem, it bothers me and annoys me a lot. I am now 21 years old and my biggest problem was now. Acne would sometimes go away on its own, and sometimes it would flare up. The hormones are fine, I have no problem with the thyroid gland. Are there any ways to prevent side effects and do they have to occur?
You should use hormonal contraception under the supervision of a gynecologist and follow the recommendations of your dermatologist.
