Treat your acne right away<\/p>\n
Dear Dr. Donya,<\/p>\n
After reading your article in The Jakarta Post, I would like
\nto ask you if it is possible for an adult to use isotretnoin.<\/p>\n
I've had acne for almost a year, particularly infections on my
\nchin. I've tried everything but the problem keeps returning. Can
\nyou please give me some advice? Thank you.<\/p>\n

Dear Tom,<\/p>\n
It is possible for adults to use isotretnoin, but it should be
\nused under the supervision of a dermatologist because of several
\npossible side effects.<\/p>\n
A few of the common side effects are dry lips, irritation of
\nthe eyes, swelling of the eyelids and lips. There are other
\nsevere but rare side effects such as hepatitis, depression and
\nsuicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n
Treatment for acne requires attention to the inflammatory
\nprocess as soon as possible because early treatment can prevent
\nscarring. A dermatologist (skin specialist), can help you and
\nshould be consulted before you start using isotretinoin.<\/p>\n
I recommend that you don't interfere with the lesions and once
\nyou have pimples, treat immediately. Do not allow them to stay on
\nyour face for a long time as it will destroy the skin. Apply a
\nlotion such as benzoyl peroxide or clindamycin.<\/p>\n
I cannot recommend a dermatologist for you, but am sure that
\nif you cannot find one in Bali, there will be one in Jakarta who
\ncan help you. Good luck.<\/p>\n
