Can Finasteride cause cystic acne due to hormonal changes?

Nav21.
I started using finasteride 2 months ago and noticed my mild acne getting worse and turing into moderate -severe cystic acne. Do you think there is a correlation between the two or is it just a matter of coincidence? Have any of your patients reported this?
