I've been having this problem lately and it's driving me nuts.

I am 25, and had pretty clear skin, just some occasional zits before I would get my period.

I went off of birth control because it was giving me migraines.

And I went back on psych meds for the first time in a long time-- Trileptal, and now Lexapro, too.

Went to the dermatologist, he prescribed Differin, Clindamycin, some benzoyl peroxide face wash.... and my face still looks like crap.

I don't know what to do.

It's more on the left side, for some reason. I have tried changing my pillow cases like crazy, changing detergents.

He said if the topical stuff doesn't work we can talk about "getting it from the inside" i.e. meds. I don't like the idea of going on more meds.
