'Exceptional student', 18, depressed because of severe acne hanged herself after being 'let down' by doctors

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.
