Isotretinoin: Isotretinoin is a synthetic Vitamin A based medication used to treat nodular acne. It, however also may cause side effects, some serious. Any time a new medication is started and one starts to develop new symptoms which were not present prior to starting new medication, it is important to watch closely the symptoms. If this doesn't resolve or continues to worsen, discuss with your Dermatologist.
