A member asked:
I have been suffering with acne for 3 months now. doctor has advised changing my birth control pills to help, do you think it will?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Different pills have different amounts of estrogen and progesterone, and changing the pill to one that is different from this one is the first step to take in treating this acne. If it started after you started your current pill, then definitely switch to something else as advised by your doctor. Good luck!
