Is isotretinoin necessary?
Unfortunately, I suffer from moderate to severe acne, if I had to assess the severity, and I've tried every possible non-medicinal method to get rid of it, with little to no success. The acne is only on my upper body (chest, shoulders, back) and not on my face, which is why I haven't considered isotretinoin yet, as I'm worried that unaffected areas might become too dry or dehydrated after treatment. However, continuing to walk around with such a minefield isn't an option for me either, as it's psychologically stressful for me in thermal baths, saunas, outdoor pools, etc., and the acne also bleeds regularly.

Isotretinoin could certainly help you, you just need to be aware of side effects and be patient. I think I see a completely different problem with the idea. If you like to make power sprinkler, isotretinoin becomes a problem as it can happen in sport to muscle decay. Therefore, most skin doctors ban a sport during the taking of a year. This should also be taken seriously, I know people who actually went wrong, they continued to do sports and died of it. I decided against taking myself, because of the side effects and the sports ban, but at the end everyone decides for themselves.
All good for you
Okay, thanks for the answer! Yes, I’ve also read that the skeletal muscle, including the heart muscle, can decompose when taken. If the acne has not improved until late summer/autumn, I will use the therapy, do not want to make short-term decisions and avoid summer during therapy, because of light sensitivity etc.
One year I wouldn’t do the therapy, even if the skin doctor sees it as necessary, because iso can also go pretty much on the liver values and the blood fat, then prefer several “cures” of ~3months with 10mg/day, or best less.
It is the only option that sustains what brings. Creams or antibiotics help temporaries, but are not a permanent solution.
Yes, that is true, very good, as you are already informed😊 many are not before taking
Are you taking steroids? If so, that’s the reason.
If no, I’d change the skin doctor.
Since you have bodybuilding ambitions, I’m wrong with my assumption that you’re injecting substances into your body?
Acne is one of the side effects of anabolic steroids.
The acne is with me independent of steroids or other substances, as I have dropped it a year ago due to side effects. With the acne I had problems since the middle of my youth
