I have recently gone off birth controlControl Control rx about four months ago, give or take. I have never had an acne problem, and now I have increased acne on my faceFace pain but most on my back. Could this be from going off the pill?
Did you have a particular reason for coming off the pill? If not see your doctor about taking it again. Certain brands are better at preventing acne than others. These include Diane35 (Dianette in the UK) Ortho Tri-Cyclen (Cilest in the UK) and Yaz (Yasmin in the UK).
If you do not wish to take the pill, ask your doctor about the other oral and topical medications available to clear and prevent acne. These include antibioics and retinoids.
