A member asked:
Can i take accutane for mild acne on oily skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too strong: The stuff is pricey, unpleasant and not entirely risk-free. If your acne is confined to your face, ask your physician about a mix of topical benzoyl peroxide and topical clindamycin. Only the worst acne requires Isotretinoin / accutane.
