In brief: Acne
those are strong medications.
Try proactive but definitely follow up with your dermatologist

In brief: Generic meds ok,
Acne Rx takes time to work and often the full benefit of the medication isn't seen for about 2-3 months.
If you have just started Rx, I recommend giving it more time. If significantly worse, please contact the doctor that gave you the Rx. Additon of oral meds for a short time my get you through this period.
