Acne and depression


My 16 year daughter is on Zoloft and has terrible acne. Can she can take something for it

My best advice is speak to a skincare doctor. Family doctors know crap about acne and are likely to prescribe junk medications, which do not work. Plus, these physicians know jack shit about depression in children. The medication you want is a retinoid. You may ask for tretinoin or accutane. However, in females there are some issues with prescription of retinoids to females of child bearing age. That is why I think you should speak to a dermatologist. Good luck.
