I've been on Isotane20 for about ten days now, and I've noticed my lips have been really dry and scaly for the past month and a half. Could this be because of the Isotane20? I'm wondering if I should keep taking it or if it's better to stop. What do you think?

I've been dealing with skin acne all over my back and hands, and it's been really frustrating. I went for a checkup and was given Kevon stay-on lotion to try, but I haven't seen any improvement. Any idea why it's not working, or is there something else I should do?
