A member asked:
What causes acne to cause parts of the face to swell up? (like whole cheek, lips, and forehead) birth control is not completely preventing it.

Common: Inflammatory acne regularly causes swelling. You neglected to designate your birth control!!!!! Some birth control helps acne, some makes it worse. Often SPIRONOLACTONE is used with birth control to turn off acne.
