Hi, I am new too all of this. I have just started going on birth control pills this year for the first time. I have had a problem with acne all my life. I'm 25 now. Well, I first went on ortho-tri cyclen, and my skin was fine at this time, nothing major. Then I noticed it getting worse. So, I went off of that, and went on allesse. Well that was horrible. My face started breaking out on my cheeks and down by my jawline all over that area. I had never even had acne there before in my life. Big ones. Made me miserable. I found out it had androgen and this apparently can cause acne in some people and it certainly did me. I went off of those about 3 weeks ago and have been on yasmin for under a month now. Just going on the placebo ones this week. So far, it seems to be ok. I am still breaking out though. Nothing like I did with the alleese though. I am a little frustrated. Can anyone tell me anything about yasmin and what your experiences has been? Anything would be appreciated. I've been at my wits end with these bc pills and this issue...
