What Causes Acne Of Face Inspite Of Having Pain Medicines?

Remove cause if possible:current treatment regimen
Detailed Answer:
Hello ma'am and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
Many anti-depressants have side effects like acne and various other changes to the skin. There are a dozen other medications which can also result in such side effects.
Sadly, the reason why most doctors tresting patients for conditions like depression do not mind the appearance of side effects like skin changes is because depression (and other similar conditions) are quite difficult to treat. If a patient is responding well to a particular medication, a doctor would not like to change it even if it is causing some undesired side effects.
The reason for this is because a change in treatment could result in reduction/absence of side effects, but not provide the desired response to treat the more worrying condition (in your case- depression).
Please understand that this is quite a dillema for doctors to resolve. But as you are intensely unhappy with the skin changes, I would suggest you to schedule an appointment with your doctor and express your discomfort. If your doctor thinks it is possible, he/she shall surely try a different treatment regimen.
Also, in my opinion treating the skin condition with medications might not help much, as the source/cause will have to be removed. For this, the course of medications might have to be changed. This does not necessarily have to mean the anti-depressant, it could even be due to the heart ailments. I cannot accurately say without the names of medications.
I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be mofe than happy to help you.
Best wishes.
