"i&#039;m 22, not sexually active and taking the pill as a form of prevention against ovarian and uteran cancers. i&#039;ve been on this pill for almost two full cycles. before the pill, i rarely if ever had acne and prided myself on a clear complexion. now, my face is a war zone, i have awful acne and acne scaring. it has been emotionally devastating and my confidence has dwindled.  everyone in my life has noticed the drastic change. i feel embarrassed.  my dermatologist said it may take 3 or 4 months for my system to regulate. overall, i haven&#039;t had any other side effects, apart from weight gain."
