Suggest Alternative Medication In Place Of Accutane

HI! MY Name is Alessia . I am 32 years old . I usually have bad acne when I do not take accutane. But they are telling me that is dangerous to take too much that medecine. I do not know what to do because it is the only medecine that works for me. Could you give me the name of other medecine or cream with the same composition than Accutane, but not too dangerous?

Hello,

You can consider clindamycin (Clincin) lotion instead of accutane.

If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
