"i started it a month and half ago and i am experiencing really bad headaches and stomach aches, but this i believe is quite normal when you start out on birth control. but one thing is my acne. (or red spots) i had really good clear skin with an occasional breakout maybe a couple times a month, but nothing bad at all. and now that i&#039;m taking lutera, i&#039;ve formed these really itchy red spots all over my cheeks and forehead. it feels and looks like cystic acne and i hate it. i&#039;m considering switching."
