A member asked:

Does ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) make you break out on your face?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should decrease acne: All pills lower your hormones and will help with acne. Many dermatologists recommend birth control pills for teens to help control their acne. It can take a few months to get the effect.
