Stopped Bc Pill, Now Acne On Back/shoulders Posted: 10-23-05 17:35pm
Hi!
I was just wondering if anybody out there
has experienced this. I stopeed my bc
pill two months ago after being on it for
almost 11 years straight. Ever since I
stopped it, I have broken out on my
shoulders and back like mad and it gets
worse around period time as well. My skin
has always been oily, so I take a zinc
supplement to keep that at bay and I also
have been taking the herb vitex-
chasteberry tree- to regulate my periods
and to get control over my hormones/pms
symptoms. I do take many vitamins and
such so I was thinking it could be
something i'm taking, but I just about
ruled everything out. The acne is not
horrific, but it's enough to keep me
annoyed and feeling yucky. I also use
neutrogena body wash for body breakouts as
well. Has anybody had this happen to
them?

No this never happened to me but I birth
control does do a lot to your body. If
you're getting concerned and annoyed than
I suggest you go to your skin doctor.
They'll have all the answers or look into
birth control and see what it does to you
body. You life is not at risk. Acne is
so common and annoying.
