Mini pill and HORRIBLE acne

Anyone else? I'm desperate to get rid of this acne before I travel home to see my family I haven't seen in 2 years! You know you're super desperate when you're putting your own boob milk on your face.

Re: Mini pill and HORRIBLE acne

  • Is this from the mini pill?! I thought it was just another PP delight...

  • I was on the mini pill once years backs (before having a baby because I cannot have estrogen). Caused me horrible side effects - oily skin, oily hair, horrible acne (worse than I ever had even as a teen), nose bleeds. Everything effects people differently, but my guess would be the mini pill. My post partum skin hasn't changed any and I'm not on any birth control yet...
  • Im 9 weeks pp and had awesome skin all through my pregnancy and up until i started the mini pill after my 6 week check up. I'm pretty sure it's the culprit. I'm thinking I'm going to stop taking it. I can't stand it. It's SO SO SO bad.
  • I took the mini pill several years ago, and it caused acne so bad that I was treated by a dermatologist for a year after stopping it. It was awful. 
  • I have only been taking it for a few weeks so far, but I'm getting acne the same as I always have, right before I got my period last week.  I do notice my face is more oily since starting it though.
