"i started taking this because my cycle was every 23 days and i heard that it could help with acne too.  i never had bad acne just one or two on my chin the week prior to my period.  but after taking this my acne is worse than it has ever been.  i&#039;ve been getting cystic acne all over my cheeks and chin.  and the worst part is that they severely scarred my skin and i never scarred before taking birth control.  i&#039;ve heard that in the first few months it can get worse before it gets better but i&#039;m on my 9th month and it just continues to get worse.  but i do like that it completely regulated my period to a 28 day cycle.  i&#039;ve decided to switch to a lower hormone birth control to see if that will help the acne subside."
