Do any other birth control methods (other than the pills) prevent acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most with estrogen: Most combination birth control methods (combined birth control pills, the patch, and the ring) help acne for most women. Progestin-only methods (the shot, the implant, and sometimes the hormone iud)can make acne worse.
