Trying a New Pill to Help W/ Acne. Posted: 10-03-03 14:00pm
I'm a 28 year old female who has acne on
my chin. I have been on ortho trycyclene
for 5 years, i'm finally fed up and got
switched to alesse. I have been told to
skip the period pills. I only break out
on my chin, I will get a big on that is
under the skin and never comes to head.
Should I be skipping my period all the
time? Is this brand of pill going to
change my horemones for the better? Can
they test your hormone levels to see if
your out of wack?
i also found this on another site:
will the pill make my acne better?
Birth control pills usually improve acne.
For moderate to severe acne, which
over-the-counter and prescription
medications can't cure, birth control
pills may be prescribed. The hormones in
the birth control pill can help stop acne
from forming. It doesn't usually matter
which type of birth control pills you
take, since most of them can be use to
treat acne. You must be patient though,
since it takes several months for the
birth control pills to work.

You should try diane 35. I went on it for
about a year and my acne cleared right up
almost instantly. I didn't have severe
acne but wanted to try it to see if it
would help and it did! The only thing is
I have heard that prolonged use of this
pill can sometimes force your body to
break out even worse once you do decide to
go off diane 35 (which is why I switched).
I inquired about this to my doctor and
she said she has never heard that before
but if I wanted to change she would do it
for me. I kind of just changed just in
case but she said there was nothing to
worry about. All in all, it was a great
pill, cleared me right up! :d
