I have terrible acne mostly spreaded throughout my back. I went to a dermatologist and she prescribed a special soap and cream. It hasn't worked at all.
I'm almost certain its caused by the tegretol, though my p.a. doesn't think so. I used to get the same type of cystic acne on lamictal and there the same drug class. I know something is causing it and it's frustrating when doctors don't believe it. I'm going back to the dermatologist and I'm sure they're going to prescribe an antibiotic which never work either.

This is very frustrating I enjoy swimming and it looked so bad this morning I was just embarrassed to go.

Anyone else struggle with this side effect?
Advice?
