"am i about to tell you all a story. it ends awfuly. so i was on this pill for 5 years. my face was fine, no acne, no issues. no birth control issues. i got on the pill because of my doctor, he told me to have this because my period was not regular and i had had it for years, so he figured this would help. i finished that treatment, and upon turning 20 i stopped taking it. no biggie right? yeah. huge biggie. within 4-6 months, i didnt get my period at all. ok thats fine, many times thats normal. my face. my poor face. my face exploded into cystic acne. i wanna say that i had been treated by my dermatologist to not have acne as i had bad acne when i was a teenager. i had to go back to him because my acne went from normal to cystic severe."
