My daughter has been on 40mg for just over 4 weeks and her skin has become much worse. It's a bit dry but she doesn't have any other symptoms and seems fine on it apart from the massive breakouts all over her cheeks and chin. She's 17 and it's making her miserable. We are seeing the consultant next week but thought I'd ask if this is normal?

It is completely normal for skin to get worse before it gets better. My daughter also experienced the same thing and it is important to reassure your daughter that this worsening is temporary. It wasn't until the third/fourth month that my daughter's skin started to clear and after six months , there were no new spots at all.
