Severe Acne after Stroke

[strokesurvivor22]

I have an unusual situation. I had a ischemic stroke 2 years ago at the age of 22 caused by birth control. Almost immediately after the fact, my skin erupted in severe acne covering almost every inch of my face. I went on accutane to try and remedy the issue but even that only cause temporary relief. I have at this point, been on almost every acne medication possible but nothing has helped. I now deal with bad cheek acne that I never had at all before the stroke. It's been incredibly difficult to watch my face slowly scar over these past two years. Although I had mild acne before the stroke, it was never on this level. If there is any knowledge or advice in this area, help would be greatly appreciated. The stroke occurred in my frontal right cortex and I had a smaller, secondary stroke in the middle of my brain on the right side as well.

Gosh, wondering if you ever got any answers on this? Very interesting. Did they correlate the acne to anything?
