Isotretinoin has revolutionized the treatment of acne. Paradoxically, it can induce acne fulminans, a severe variant of inflammatory acne. We report a rare case of acne fulminans and erythema nodosum both complicating isotretinoin therapy, successfully managed with oral dapsone and light-emitting diode as a therapeutic alternative to isotretinoin.
