A 25-year-old woman comes to see you at the GP surgery. She has been suffering from acne for some months now. She initially had a good response to topical agents but has found that they have now stopped working and she is keen to try something else. She has no scarring, and it is not significantly psychologically distressing for her. She is taking the progesterone only pill as she did not tolerate the combined oral contraceptive pill. You decide to start her on oral treatment.
