A member asked:
I haven't taken birth control before and am starting lo loestrin fe in a few days. i've seen negative comments about acne w this med is that common

Some: some women do have acne with this product and personally I don't use lo loestrin too often because it is such a low dose that pregnancy rates are higher. For acne, I like Ortho tricyclen lo. It has an FDA indication for mild cystic acne prevention.
