Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I can understand your concern for acne with scars. After analyzing your query I can get that you had been prescribed with isotretinoin capsules in past and you didn't had much relief after that.
In your kind of cases I suggest my patients to take a proper consultation from a proper dermatologist. I prescribe my patients a combination of glycolic acid cream along with tretinoin based cream to be applied at night time in a very thin layer. The sunscreen can be continued but rather use a gel based sunscreen to avoid sun damage.
All the best.
