After trying oral antibiotics, topical retinoids, and topical benzoyl peroxide with no significant benefit, the patient and his mother requested isotretinoin (Accutane). After 4 months of isotretinoin, the nodules and cysts cleared, and only a few papules remained (Figure 118-2). He is much happier and more confident with his appearance. His skin cleared fully after 6 months of isotretinoin. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1164353174 ER -
