Broke out

So I never broke out in my 23 years of life ever. I suddenly had this massive breakout thing in both sides of my face and I thought it was bc I sleep with my headphones on but that’s never been a problem before.

Then I assumed it was bc my hormones were off bc I had a really big depressive episode, the biggest I’ve had in my life, and I had gained weight a few months prior and was having crazy night sweats. (All symptoms of a possible hormone imbalance)

Then I assumed it was bc I started smoking weed. Honestly I didn’t know what to do, I think the depressive episode kick started something in my body tbh like hormonally. Is that delusional? I’m just trying to find a reason bc this is very out of character for me and it broke out like crazy.

Anyways I started washing my face more with black soap and greasing it with Vitamin E oil cuz that’s what I grease my face with, and it got better, still some breakouts here and there.

Went to the dermatologist but by then it cleared up a lot. Went anyway.

He gave me clindamycin to use twice a day, some cetaphil, and tretinoin to use once every other night.

I know that clindamycin can make your skin worse before it gets better after a few weeks bc your skin might purge first, but idk if I should use it bc my skin did clear up a little by the time I went to the doctor and I’m afraid my skin may not get better bc it’s starting to look a tiny bit worse after using the clindamycin after a few days.

Any tips. Also school starts soon and I don’t want to show up with bad skin which probably sounds immature.

Should I thought out the medicine or just go back to black soap and vitamin e oil.

Should I just use water and call it a day idk.

I’ve never had acne before and I’m really having a hard time with this.
