Which is an alternative treatment for severe acne?

  1. Switch to another retinoid

  2. PO Isotretinoin

  3. Add combined Oral Contraceptive Pill or Spironolactone (females)

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

There could be a perception of B and C as "alternative treatments" though they are frequently used and widely accepted in treating severe acne. A could be seen as an alternative to retinoids, but may not effectively address severe acne. Therefore, D would be the most accurate answer as it includes options that may be considered as alternatives, but also encompasses commonly used treatments for severe acne.
