I have been drinking a contraceptive to help with acne, but i stopped drinking it. what can i do to stop my acne breakouts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex issue: You need to meet a primary doc with skincare experience or a dermatologist who can determine the needs of your specific form of breakouts. Over time you can come up with a daily skin care plan that may involve a blend of different agents, with modifications based on the increase or decrease in breakout activity. Although some consider acne a teen thing many deal with it well into their 30's+.
