Diane BC pill & Acne?
| Wed, 08-25-2004 - 6:07pm |
Hi!
I was on ortho-tricyclen for allmost 5-6 years and then I decided to go off the pill as I could not take the mood swings anymore. My doctor suggested that I go on a pill called Diane since it has the same hormone released through out the month. I have had mild acne all my life.. maybe 2-3 small zits on my face at a time but the thing is.. I'm about halfway through my pack or more and I am breaking out like crazY!
All over my chest, my face in patches and my back. Is this a bad reaction to this Diane pill? Has anyone had a similar experience? My friend said it takes a few months to kick in but I'm unsure.
Thanks for your input

You should give your body at least 3 cycles on a pill to become adjusted to the hormones. If you can I would try to stick it out for that long to see how you will do. Do you know that there is a medical advisory out about Diane 35? http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hpfb-dgpsa/tpd-dpt/diane-35_dhpl_e.html You might want to talk with your doctor about it if you haven't already. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
