How much iso are you taking to control it?

Low dosage.

10 mg pill every 5 day.

This treatment started with a larger dosage (up to 10 mg per day).

In Italy where I live, it is becoming more and more difficult to get the drug. One can only get isotretinoin in drug stores with a non-repeatable prescription by a dermatologist.

More over now the italian drugs agency in theory allows it only for the treatment of severe acne, not for mild but recalcitrant acne or very severe seborrhoea.

The doctor with which I started this therapy decided for it after trying for years every other possible alternative and out of his growing concern for the evident psychological distress that my condition was causing to me.

I was also treated in the past with a treatment cycle at a larger dosage. However a few days after completion sebum was back at its previous rate.

The idea of the treament I am having was that this should be permanent, and as such have a much lower dosage to prevent the dangerous side effects of the drug.

Familial naevoid sebaceous hyperplasia, a disease poorly known to most of italian dermatologist, that is often confused as seborrhea or rosacea, is also treated this way...not in Italy of course...

Indeed I am much better taking isotretinoin than without (I don't know where disperation would have led me without it).

However I still have a tremendously oily skin (and big, clogged pores).

I was wondering if other people experience this emulsion effect when they rinse their face.

A similar thing occurs when I sweat. Sweat is in droplets rather than forming a continuos layer and these droplets are sometimes milkish/foamish.
