Just started Yasmin, was on something else prior, now ACNE?!
Question:
Just started Yasmin, was on something else prior, now ACNE?
Has this happened to anyone else? My gyno just switched my birth control. Now I'm breaking out after a week of taking the new pill. Is that normal?
Answers:
It is not uncommon to break out when starting or changing hormonal birth control. If you have any acne under the skin, your pill will be trying to purge it out of you. Birth control tends to make acne better, and the hormone in Yasmin should have an anti-acne effect. So, it's not that your pill is giving you acne, but rather that it is trying to make it going away. but, it may get worse before it gets better.
