Brief Answer: no need to worry Detailed Answer: Alkaline phosphatase is a enzyme, present in many tissue and its level are increased in many minor and major illness. As I told, it can be increased in many problems, but if you don't have any disease, then it may be increased from minor bone diseases or due to vitamin D deficiency. You can check Vitamin D level in blood, and if decrease, take supplement of it. As such I am not very concerned. And with this report, you can continue with your pimple medicine including tretiva Dr Alok
