"in high school i took loestrin 24 fe and never had any skin problems, my skin was always clear. i was switched to lo loestrin which has lower hormones and i guess it messed up all my hormones because i started breaking out in the worst cystic acne. a new pimple would come up every day. now it is out of control and i&#039;m starting to develop dark spots (scarring) from the cystic acne.
