Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes, with attention: One positive side effect of the pill is that it keeps your skin clear and may actually clear up acne. It is not,surprising,that,you notice a change after stopping. If you can't get it under control and it is bothering you a dermatologist can help. But you may be able to clear it up on your own.
