My college-aged son has severe acne scars.

I was going to start scar treatment, but I was a senior.

I was stressed out while I was in the dorm.

I started getting acne again.

But my son said he needed to treat his acne first.

I was prescribed a 3-month supply of isotretinoin through a non-face-to-face consultation.

I was taking it.

The doctor did not see it in person, but remotely

Since the prescription was given only for the symptoms I inquired about, there were no side effects.

I wonder if it is effective or not.

If there is anyone who has taken isotretinoin, what is the effect?

If there are any side effects, please advise. Question) I am curious about the effectiveness and side effects of acne treatment prescribed through non-face-to-face consultation.

이소티논은 입술·피부 건조가 가장 흔하고, 코피·눈 건조가 생길 수 있어요. 간수치·중성지방 상승, 두통이나 관절통이 나타나기도 하며 임신 중 복용은 절대 금물입니다.

약 복용하고 나서 피부 건조에 신경쓰고
있는데 입술이 부쩍 건조해지네요.
약국에서 입술보습제 구입해서 발랐더니
좀 나아졌어요.

이소티논의 대표적 부작용은 간 기능 이상과 혈중 지질 상승이 있어서 복용하면서 간 수치 지질 수치 잘 관찰하고 복용하면서 음주는 피하라고 꼭 이야기해주세요. 대학생이니 음주가 잦을수도 있는데 대표적 부작용이 간기능이상 있을 수 있으니 잘 이야기 해주세요

스스로 조심하더라구요.
아빠가 권해도 약 먹는 동안에는 
금주한다구요^^
조언 감사합니다.
