As someone in the medical field, I truly appreciate your evidence-based approach to acne management.

Question, if you use an antihistamine to reduce the risk of purging, can acne come back after you’re done with accutane, since the pimples that were supposed to flare up didn’t come to the surface?

Do I take isotretinoin and antihistamine at the same time?

Thank you for the information! Do you take the antihistamine for the duration of your accutane usage, or for the first three months (the 'purging' phase)?

Will reducing the dose of isotretinoin cause purging again? Please tell me, I am very worried.
