"let me say since starting this birth control  i haven&#039;t had a period for 6 years, a little spotting here or there but nothing i was concerned about. i really liked it up in til now. this spring i have had a rash from the side of my temples behind my ears to around my throat. i have breast and nipple tenderness which hurts bad i have headaches more then usual. when my rash first happened i thought it was dermatitis so i went to the dermatologist which she proscribed me a higher dosage of hydrocortisone to try. let&#039;s say it calmed it down but never went away. so i did a little more research on the web and found out it could be hormone imbalance from the birth control which totally made sense i looked up the side effects and it described me."
