A member asked:
Please answer! what medication is prescribed in case of severe hormonal acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The hard stuff: All acne is tied up with hormones. For severe acne, if you are offered isotretinoin, consider accepting it, though it's not for the faint-hearted. If you're a woman, even severe acne may clear on the oral contraceptive pill.
