A grammar school girl hanged herself after spiralling into depression because of severe acne, an inquest has heard.
Melissa Martin-Hughes, 18, who was predicted to get three A*s in her A-levels, had been taking the controversial drug Roaccutane for her condition.
It has been blamed for numerous cases of depression and suicide.
Miss Martin-Hughes began self-harming after suffering ‘dark episodes’ from the age of 14 when she developed ‘severe acne’ on her face and upper body, the inquest was told yesterday.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
