Default Options for medication-caused skin issues? Proactive, maybe?

Hi Guys,

I know this is a small issue in the big scheme of things, but I thought I'd ask anyway...

I'm wondering if any of you have used Proactive or other skincreams/products for skin issues that are caused by your tablets?

I take MS Contin (among other things) and have been this dose of it for about a year, but have spent the past 6-7 years of my RSD on either MS Contin or Oxycontin. On smaller doses of MS Contin, my skin wasn't an issue, but now I'm on 80mg a day, I have a new spot/blemish appearing nearly every day. I could buy shares in concealers, lol.

I know medication-caused skin problems don't always respond the same way as "normal" skin problems do, but for those who've had this issue as well, did Proactive or other products help clear your skin up?
Can anyone recommend anything that might help?

It's kind of ironic that I had perfect skin as a teenager, but now have teenager skin in my 30's

Thanks guys xxxx
