Yes I have been on the patch for about two years, and I actually lost wieght and my skin had no change, I have always had great skin, so im really glad that I didtn get irritated like yours hun, and the pill has much of the same horomones in it as the patch, so you'll prolly have no change. I hope your situation gets better, I really do. But just work out and use skin creams especially if your sexually active. Dont risk having a baby just because of a few things. Those can be helped with cream and jogging.
