Do Anxiolytics Treat Acne Which May Be Caused By Anxiety?

I -think- I suffer from anxiety. When I went to hospital, every time the doctors took my blood pressure it was high, but when I slept it was completely normal. After I went off the pill, my acne has returned and I thought maybe the main reason is because I have bad anxiety when I m awake. Could anti anxiety drugs help me? Help me with my every day life and acne? I ve been to the doctors a lot about my acne, and going on the pill was the best option the doctor had given me. However, because they believed the pill caused my high blood pressure, I am now off it.
