A member asked:
I started sprintec two weeks ago and i started get very bad acne on my chin, will this fade when my body gets used to the new birth control?

Hopefully: Skin changes, especially acne are common with oral contraceptives. Even ones that are less likely can do so. While such problems can fade with time, if you had a dramatic response so quickly, it is likely that your body may continue to have eruptions. You may need to consider looking at options with your physician.
