Accutane: If your face is getting very red skip a few days of the Accutane and apply a skin moisturizer to your face instead.

Depends: Does "hormone imbalance" mean pcos? Taking accutane, you probably should stop Minocycline and benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is especially irritating if you use accutane. You probably need a cream for dry skin. You may benefit from spironolactone. What forms of birth control? After a few months of accutane, the acne marks and scars will be dramatically improved.
