Can you become allergic to lo loestrin fe suddenly after taking for 9 months? i have itchy hives/bumps all over. i'm also on minocycline for acne.

Possible: May consider switching ocp brand. Minocycline may also be the possible culprit depending on when initiated. If unsure, may seek evaluation with allergist.
