Question

I'm currently taking isotretinoin capsules, 20 mg per day, and was wondering if it's safe to use benzoyl peroxide on my skin at the same time. I've heard about potential issues or reactions but I'm not really sure. Could this combination cause any problems, and should I be worried about any side effects?
