Hello there.

Im on a course of isotretinoin to shrink/remove prominent sebaceous glands(fordyce spots) and I talked to my doctor about trying isotretinoin as I've heard the good positive effects on just this.

I was prescribed 10mg every other day for 3 months but that didnt really have any positive effect nor negative. Im now on an upped dose of 20mg every other day and i've had some results on cleaner skin but not really on the prominent glands.

My question is wether the way forward is smaller doses(like Im doing right now) over a longer period or higher doses over little time. Do we still try to reach a 120-150mg cumulative dose and will I ever reach that if Im on a small dose?

Hope somebody has some insight in this or any experiences

Best regards, Martimus
