Side Effects of Isotroin

For many years almost more than a decade, I have been suffering from Acne. In recent years it has turned severe even when I am 26. I have been advised by my dermatologist to take Isotroin (by Cipla in India) / Roaccutane / Isotretinoin / Sotret. I started with Isotroin 10mg on a daily basis. The first week passed by without any visible side-effects. Week 2 started with severe Lip-cracking only. Used common milk cream based moisturizer to heal it. With the onset of week 3 the lips cracking still continued along with slight increase in hair loss. I personally use Sunsilk Yellow / Dove everyday to combat the falling hairs and dandruff. In week 4 the lips cracking continued along with hair loss and back pain. Week 4 also saw the formation of a skin condition called Eczema or a severe form of skin rash along with crust formation. The rash only appeared in hands and made my hands rough with the rash. At this moment I thought of visiting a Dermatologist, but did not.

In week 5 the Lips cracking showed some sign of healing, but back pain and severe hair losses continued. Also the skin rash started disappearing without any medication.  I still continue to take the Isotroin's and would update as things follow.
