28 saal ka hoon aur acne ne nahi chhoda! Isotretinoin se liver bigda, ab kya karein? 😭

Yaar I’m just so tired. 28 years old and my face still looks like a teenager’s nightmare. Pimples popping up on my cheeks, jawline, even near my ears. Wtf is this? I thought by this age skin would settle down, but nope.

Was on isotretinoin for 3 months, felt some hope, then my liver enzymes shot up. Doctor said stop immediately. Now I’m back to square one. Frustration is real. I’ve started trying those old-school home remedies my nani used to swear by—multani mitti with rose water, neem paste. Nothing is working. My mother keeps saying “shaadi ke baad theek ho jayega” like that’s a solution. I can’t even look at myself in the mirror without feeling like crying.

Also, the pain is not just physical. My relatives at the last family gathering said “beta itna acne, kya kha rahi ho?” as if I’m eating poison. I just want clear skin, is that too much to ask?

Has anyone here dealt with acne at this age? And if isotretinoin didn’t work for you, what helped? Please tell me there’s something else.
