I have noticed that since I have been on heavier pain meds, at higher doses, my face is constantly breaking out. Is it a proven correlation between the two? Or is just me?

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
The line of thought is that people who are on opiates, whether to scratch that itchy nose or something, tend to rub their faces more often, bring about more oil, more infection, etc..
Acne in those who use opiates tend to result in more scars as well, because we tend to pick at the scabs while scratching.
