Hi docs, would the pill help clear acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often does: If the oral contraceptive pill is otherwise right for a woman, it may also clear acne. Exactly how it works is a minor mystery but is related to its reducing androgenic hormones. Occasionally some versions of "the pill" may make acne flare instead. Trial and error may be required.
