A member asked:

I have recently stopped lexapro but am still getting tiny cystic pimples. how long could it take for my hormones to return to normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May not be hormones: Uncertain what this rash is It may not be hormone related. If this is a drug created side effect to your system it should be less present with time. You could check with your physician or you can see a dermatologist
