birth control and break outs

birth control and break outs

I have never had trouble with acne or break outs. I was on birth control for over 10 yrs.  I got off the pill in Oct.  Since i have been off I am experiencing a lot of break outs.  Its really depressing.  I don't want to go back on the pill but I can't take the acne on my face.  And its weird because its mostly on one side of my face- but they last a long time and when one goes away another 3 come out.  I am not sure if they are even connected.  But I am in my late 30s and don't know why I am having trouble with acne at my age.  Has anyone had an experience with this after coming off the pill? How lo0ng will it last? Is there anything I can do to prevent it?

you may have changed the hormonal balance once you stopped the birth control pills.
