A member asked:
I got off birth control because it was making me breakout bad and now that i'm off of it i'm breaking out even more! what do i do?

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.
