What Can I Take with my Antibiotics to Treat Acne?

I’ve been on antibiotics for more than a year. In the summer, I had a nice face but as the school started, I noticed A LOT of acne coming back. I changed doctors and antibiotics.

Now I’m taking Solodyn that my new doctor prescribed and some facial cleanser but the acne is still bad. So I tried eating healthier: tuna, pecans, raisins, bananas, and strawberry yogurt, drink a lot of water and still no change. I really don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Should I start taking zinc with the antibiotics? What do you recommend? Please help?
