A member asked:
I treat my acne and irregular periods with progesterone cream.i will start using cerazette now ,do i need to stop using cream on this pill ?

Real acne Rx: Progesterone cream isn't the best choice for acne anyway. It may clear on your contraceptive pill. Your best move is to switch to topical benzoyl peroxide and/or a retinoic acid derivative; if they're too rough, a salicylic acid wash. See what happens and get with your physician if you are not clear soon.
