Question

I've been dealing with this issue for about 5 months now. My face has been releasing this strange, white powdery stuff, and when I scratch it, my skin feels really tight and flaky. Any idea what might be going on with my skin?

I'm a little worried about switching from isotretinoin capsules to tablets. My dermatologist started me on a 5-month isotretinoin course for moderate to severe acne, and I've been using Saferet 20 mg capsules for 2 months now. But my pharmacist now only has Saferet 20 mg in tablet form. Is there any difference between taking isotretinoin as capsules or tablets? Which one is more effective or better for me? Would love some guidance on this.
