"i&#039;m 19 yrs old. i was on this medication just as a birth control method not for acne. i&#039;ve had mild acne since i was 10 but never anything too serious. i would get a bump on my chin around my period/ovulation and when i was really stressed out i&#039;d break out on my forehead. within 3 weeks of taking this pill my chin broke out in clusters of huge painful cysts i&#039;ve never experienced before. after a month and a half with no improvement i called my obgyn she said to wait 3 months for my body to adjust. my skin continued to get worse. the cysts moved to my cheeks and forehead. after 3 months i got off of it. it&#039;s been 8 months since i stopped and i&#039;m still breaking out terribly. just want my skin back."
