MOOD SWINGS ACNE: DO YOU TAKE ANY OTHER MEDICATIONS? IT SOUNDS LIKE A HORMONAL IMBALANCE AS YOU, YOURSELF, HAS SUGGESTED. PLEASE SEE YOUR PCP OR YOUR PEDIATRICIAN OR A GYNECOLOGIST. NOT TO WORRY . . . BEST LUCK.

Imbalance: Yes, that can happen. A visit to your pediatrician or gynecologist would be helpful.
