Hi doctor,
I am suffering from acne for five years. I took Accutane for two months and stopped it recently due to side effects. My acne again started to come back after a month. Now, I am following a diet with no sugar or fast food and fewer dairy products. Also, I am using Benzoyl peroxide face wash. I am taking Omega 3 supplement (300mg) daily. It has improved by skin texture and reduced the redness of my acne to some extent. Shall I continue these drugs throughout my life? Will it have side effects? Will it affect my fertility? If I cannot continue it throughout my life, then how long should I stay? I just loved the way it gave me a good skin with less inflammation.
