Yaz and Acne

by Ellie631, Mar 17, 2009 06:21AM

Tags: yaz, Acne, bad

I've been on Yaz now for one month and one week and I've been experiencing chronic breakouts. I've never had them this bad before, on my lower cheeks, jawline and chin. Is it to do with the pill? Does acne get worse before it gets better with these types of things? Some advice would be seriously appreciated. It's making me feel horrible and I don't want to leave the house.

Yeah I was on Yaz for 7 months...I already had acne but it definatley made my face much worse. It is a super strong birth control and everyone reacts differently. Like the commmercial says, "Its a different kind of hormone". You may want to switch...Its up to you
