Q: Kariva Birth Control

I'm almost done with my first pack of kariva, and i've experienced horrible acne with it. Deep acne that stays for weeks and is filled with puss.

Is this the storm before the calm, so to say? I've heard kariva is prescribed to people to prevent acne as well as pregnancy. Does it have to get worse before it gets better? I look awful! I've always had acne but this is bad, and i'm not willing to switch birth controls again now that I found one that I like emotionally.

It very well may get better...

Ortho tri cyclen is actually noted to help skin specifically, but all birth control 'can' help..

You may need to start using acne products and facial washes, to help prevent breakouts and treat the pimples.
