Pimples After Using Acutane Contraceptive Pills. Changed The Tooth Paste. Is That The Reason?

Hi, i have had clear skin for about 3 years now since seeking professional help when i was younger. I was put on accutane and contraceptive pill and it cleared up within 3 months, therefore i stopped taking them. However, now my skin is so bad, and i seem to get reoccuring pimples on my lip line which are extremely painful and in the crease of my chin. Pleaseeee help, i have changed my toothpaste to flouride free since thinking that could be the problem and i cant afford to go see the dermatologist again. Thanks, Anon

Hello, Accutane helps to release less amount of oil from your skin, and it is very clear that since you've withdrawn the drug your pimples recurring, kindly go for external applications for your skin problem so that you can maintain your skin texture. Almonds, honey, tomato, potatoes, carrot, milk cream are very good for skin complexion and helps the skin to glow. thank you.
