Clinical TrialThe effectiveness of intermittent isotretinoin treatment in mild or moderate acne.
Isotretinoin is the only drug that affects almost all factors in acne pathogenesis. Recently, its use for the treatment of chronic mild or moderate acne unresponsive to long-term antibiotic therapy, and with a tendency to cause scarring and leading to negative psychological effects, has became popular. The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of intermittent isotretinoin treatment in mild or moderate acne. ⋯ Intermittent isotretinoin treatment was found to be a safe and effective choice for patients with mild or moderate acne.
