How To Cure Acne From All Over The Body?
my son is 15 and has acne - doctor prescribed Retina A topical and Minocylcine 100mg. He has been taking it for about 2 1/2 weeks. He just showed me what looks like a rash in different areas of his body (not covering, but scattered all over). Could this be a sympton of these medications or something else?

Hello,
Treatment for acne - retina A topical and Minocycline are unlikely to cause rash elsewhere in the body.
I suggest you t consult your dermatologist for clinical assessment of the rash for further management.
The rash could be a primary skin lesion unrelated to acne or medication used for acne.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
