I have come off the contraceptive pill and my skin is bad, how long should i wait for it to balance out? or should i go back on the pill?

Your choice: While some look at acne as a teen disease many will experience it well into their 30's & beyond. Hormonal BCP's benefit many women with acne whose skin otherwise would remain acne prone & harder to manage. You may or may not be able to have clear skin off the pill. If taking it is not a problem it may be reasonable to continue until your life plans change.
