"so, i am only within my first month and this is scary. i have always had bad acne, but within this first month it has made it worse. the kind of cystic acne i get now, i cannot get rid of as soon as i used to be able to. most pimples would go away for about a week and these have lasted for a month almost. i am also starting to take tretinoin and doxycycline in addition to the birth control because i feel so hopeless. please, someone tell me this is supposed to happen? you know? worse before better?



thanks."
