I've been on Copaxone for a month and prior to taking it, I never broke out or had issues with Pimples but I've noticed since taking it I have annoying break outs. More annoying than anything... just wondering if it's from the drug or just random. Thanks! :)

I started out with small, infrequent breakouts. I am off Copaxone now after 6 yrs on it. I have developed Rosacia which is a very common skin condition where you get breakouts and your skin gets very red. It is quite common among people with neurological disorders, especially if you have fair skin.

I been on copaxone about a year since i was diagnosed with ms i started out in spots i thought it was to do with stress then since been on copaxone i have apparently acne i have tried alsorts even pro active and sometimes it will look like its clearing up but then it will breakout again. I am 25 now and still its the same. I have even been proscribed with some acne cream for my face and that will help a little but they still breakout but there is also alot of stress at home. 😣😔

I have been on Copaxone for 1.5 years. I started getting acne mostly on face, chest and back. Sometimes I don't think it's acne because i sometimes find them on my stomach, eyelids and legs. I have been to 2 dermatologist and they both told me its acne.
