HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, because of the increased dose of the antiepileptic medicine you did not have any attack it is not advisable to reduce the dose, your skin condition that you have may not be due to the medicine that you are taking but could be due to something else and for that it is better to see the dermatologist, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
