"i&#039;ve been using this birth control for 3 months now and i&#039;m starting my 4th month now.  i started taking the pill to hopefully help with my acne and it seem to be working somewhat well until recently.  when i started taking it, the acne i had improved a bit, but a few weeks ago my face basically blew up.  i developed tons of it from just below my cheek bones, across my chin and along my jaw line but my forehead stays clear.  i initially thought that it was just a breakout to signal that my period was starting (i normally get a little more just before, even on the pill) but it didn&#039;t go away. it&#039;s terrible and it&#039;s never been this bad before even off the pill.
