"i had been off birth control for quite a while (years) and decided it was time to get back on it for family planning reasons. i had flawless skin, (i&#039;m 31) then started this pill 4 months ago and i&#039;ve had nothing but tiny pimples all over on my face, neck, chest and back ever since. it&#039;s definitely due to the pill because it all goes away the week of the iron/placebo pill. super light periods, but i&#039;ll take two more days of that if it means 28 days of clear skin again."
