A member asked:
I got a acne from my birth control pill, jolivette (norethindrone). what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Options: Norethindrone is an androgenic (testosterone like) progesterone, so changing to a less androgenic pill may help. Also, other medication options are available, best to consult either with your GYN or dermatology
