Could there be a different prescription of birth control for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 options: Lots of birth control pills out there but when it comes to acne, i would suggest sticking an agent indicated to reduce sebum production in the skin. Talk with your doctor about options such as: Yaz, (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) Ortho Tri-cyclin, and Estrostep.
