My research on the web for isotretinoin as a potential cure / treatment for steatocystoma multiplex didn't seem to be that promising. Most medical articles have shown varied results on the use of isotretinoin for the treatment of SM.

The first article states a possible adverse reaction with isotretinoin use, while the second shows that could be a possible delayed effect on the shrinkage of cysts.
Can isotretinoin or as it's more commonly referred to as accutane be a possible treatment of SM, aiding in the shrinkage and even full eradication of SM cysts? Personally, I have my doubts on that. Even so, I would guess only a small percentage of SM sufferers would see any beneficial effects while on isotretinoin.
