Dermatological indications for the use of isotretinoin beyond acne

Abstract: While the use of isotretinoin has revolutionized the treatment of acne vulgaris, isotretinoin is increasingly recognized as a useful therapeutic option for many other cutaneous conditions. We review the evidence underlying the use of isotretinoin for a variety of dermatological indications including hidradenitis suppurativa, sebaceous gland pathology, rosacea, scarring alopecia, cosmetic dermatology, and non-melanoma skin cancer prophylaxis amongst other uses, and thus consider alternative uses within dermatol… Show more

“…1 A recent literature review evaluated the most common dermatological indications of isotretinoin beyond acne. 13 Solid evidence favored the use of isotretinoin in rosacea, sebaceous gland pathology such as seborrheic dermatitis and sebaceous hyperplasia, and as prophylaxis of non-melanoma skin cancer. Other uses include hidradenitis suppurativa, scarring alopecia, viral warts, cutaneous lupus, and photo-aging.…”

“…Nuclear receptors for RA are transcriptional repressors that switch to activators when RA is bound. Retinoids like isotretinoin are also the active ingredient in certain medications such as acne skin creams and cancer therapeutics (Forbat, Ali, & Al‐Niaimi, 2018). Developmental exposure to exogenous RA can cause cleft palate in rodents and humans (Ackermans, Zhou, Carels, Wagener, & Von den Hoff, 2011).…”
