Answer to Question 1

B
The patient should keep his face clean and dry by washing with gently with mild soap and water. Although evidence exists that caffeine could potentially cause flare-ups, strict diet restrictions are no longer recommended. Scrubbing the face with a brush can cause irritation, and squeezing pustules can lead to infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Accutane is considered a teratogen and can cause fetal malformations. Patients of childbearing age must be on a contraceptive.
