Spotty face

Hi I had a small heart attack in November 2020 and feel great after having a stent fitted. I’m on the usual meds and wondered if anyone has suffered with a really spotty face? I’m 61 and never suffered this badly in my teens! Could it be the meds? They also don’t heal quickly either due to the Aspirin and Ticegrelor, so scarring is also a problem.

Same for me but also on arms and trunk. Just seen dermatologist who's recommended to my docs that my tricagrelor is changed to another medication for at least 3 months to see if it id the cause.

My skin has become incredibly dry. I spoke to my chemist who confirmed that pretty much all the usual meds have some effect on your skin🙄

Thank you. I should finish the Ticegrelor in November so may be an improvement then.
