Follow up: With your dermatologist. There are still other treatments that can be added to your current treatment that can help so don't lose hope!!! You might need a course of oral antibiotics if the acne is pustular, and you might want to take some probiotics to help your body's biome (since you have probably been on antibiotics in past) replace pillowcase daily and avoid touching face w/hands.

May not be enough: 20 MG I'd very low dose and should of been adjusted early in the treatment if still breaking out with the medication.
