acne
"I was put on birth control to not only reduce my cystic acne, but to regulate my periods. As far as my actual menstrual cycle goes, everything is normal, if not a little bit better because of this pill. But with my acne, things haven't been going smoothly. If I didn't have a complicated skin care routine I'm positive my face would be covered in acne. When I first got on the pill, my acne did clear up a bit, but eventually I started breaking out even worse than I did prior to being on the pill. To say the least, I'm extremely disappointed. I'm not using the pill for its intended purpose (I'm not sexually active,) yet this was recommended to me anyways??"
