Help with another medicine?

I'm a 16 year guy and have normal to severe acne. I get large, sore, red pimples on my cheeks (cystic i think). I recently went to the dermatologist and he prescribed my plexion cleanser, aczone cream (A.M. only) and ziana (before bed). I got everything except the ziana because my insurance doesnt cover it and its $500. Ive been using the aczone morning and night. It seems like my acne has gotten worse but im wondering if the medicine is just bringing out everything bad? Why am i still getting acne? Do you think i should tell my dermatologist to prescribe me something other than ziana?

Hi,
How are you? If your acne has gotten worse, it is best that you inform your dermatologist for proper management, If you were not able to buy one of the medicine, discuss this with him for a substitute medicine easier on the budget and can interact with the other prescribed medicine. Take care and do keep us posted.
