I have moderate scarring acne. I've had this since I was 14. I'm 42. I have other skin issues as well. Ingrown hairs, idiopathic itching. It's very depressing. I've never dated AR felt confident. I started the process of going on Isotrentinoin, but due to being a traveling histotechnician, I missed the initial 30 day appointment. It's been 2 months since my first visit. I am on birth control. I'm fed up with my skin. Thanks

It does not cause scars but it will alter appearance of skin. Overall the effect for severe cystic acne is dogmatic improvement. The minor changes can be dealt with later with Microneedling safely.
This is an extremely low dose and you are very sensitive. This dose is not curative dose so unless a said helps you need to discuss with your doctor other options.
