Hi Spriggy. Have you started any other medicines recently that might be causing the acne? I do remember reading about your recent diagnosis, so fish oil might be the culprit, but if you're taking other new meds, they might be aiding and abetting the problem. One other thing that occurred to me. . . I do remember reading that patient's with your diagnosis have to be careful about being in the sun. Some of the ingredients in Clearasil might make you more sun-sensitive. What does Clearasil contain now? Back when I used it, it had a different chemical composition. I think benzoyl peroxide might be in it now (it's in almost all OTC acne lotions). That can make your face sun-sensitive. One thing that can really increase sun-sensitivity is Retin-A. Be sure to check with your doctor before you use any of those over-the-counter acne creams.
