Hi I have pcos since years, have had my babies, but suffer from acne on n off. I had taken isotretinion in 2009 and my skin cleared up. But my acne is back since end of july I have been on antibiotics twice a day and isotretinion 20mg ever alternate day. I also apply sofradex and nidoxin mixed together. There has been some improvement but nothing remarkable.
