A member asked:

What are reasons why would yasmin, (drospirenone and ethinyl estradiol) yasminelle, and diane 35 give me acne when they are supposed to clear it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Minor mystery: There's no understanding this. I'm sorry that these made your acne flare, but sometimes this happens. Acne-prone skin is a chaotic system. You can try a different Rx, or see if topical benzoyl peroxide is enough to keep you clear. Best wishes.
