Hi i have recently been reffered to a consultant regarding my acne.The acne is just on one side of my neck the right side.The consultant offered me a treatment called roaccutane which has lots of side effects and for the area i have the acne it doesnt seem worth taking as its not on my whole face.The consultant did not even look at my skin properly.Could anyone offer me advice on what to do next regarding my problem.Thanks.

You could be having an acne or pimple at the site, though nothing can be said with surety without having a look at the lesions.
There are several treatment options available for acne - topical application creams, oral medications, laser treatment etc.
It would be best to consult your dermatologist to decide about the best treatment option in your case.
Comedonal (non-inflammatory) acne: local treatment with azelaic acid, salicylic acid, topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide.
Mild papulo-pustular (inflammatory) acne: benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids, topical antibiotics (such as erythromycin).
Moderate inflammatory acne: benzoyl peroxide or topical retinoids combined with oral antibiotics (tetracyclines). Isotretinoin is an option.
Severe inflammatory acne, nodular acne, acne resistant to the above treatments: isotretinoin also known as Accutane, can be prescribed by a doctor, or contraceptive pills with cyproterone for females with virilization or drospirenone.
