Patch and acne?

Sorry if this is a stupid question! I know that many birth control pills can help with acne, but can the patch also help since it contains the same hormones? Thanks!

Hi! I went to my OB/GYN last week and she prescribed Ortho Evra. She said that basically all birth control pills help with acne. The weird thing is, the day after I put the first patch on, my face broke out. I am sure it's a coincidence. There's an article on today.msnbc.com posted today that explains why birth control pills help with adult acne.

Thanks! I knew that pills did, but I wasn't sure if the patch had the same effect.
