"i have cystic acne which isn&#039;t awful but this pill made it a lot worse. i tried a lot of different acne products and treatments and none worked so i&#039;ve tried 2 birth control pills to help, this being my second try. i followed my doctors advice to give it at least 6 months and it has only made my acne worse. it is redder, more painful, and a lot deeper than before, and it has spread all over my face and become splotchy. i also get a lot of fevers and awful cramps all throughout the month. i also use birth control pills to stop my periods. the first day i went on it i got my period (it was awful and lasted 14 days). now i keep getting them so it&#039;s not working. don&#039;t let my experience sway you too much but unfortunately it just dosen&#039;t work."
