A member asked:
I'm taking my first birth control ever and it's making me break out, should i wait a month of not taking anything to start a new one?

Change Pills: Birth control pills should decrease acne. There are some older pills with Progesterone in them that can lead to acne. I would switch and make sure you are not taking those pills. Just speak with your doctor and they can easily fix.
