Birth Control (ethinylestradiol/drospirenone) and Acne.
Hi!
I am looking into personal experience with BC containing ethinylestradiol and drospirenone.
I have struggled with my skin on and off for 7-8 years - particularly deep cystic pimples, primarily on the right side of my face. As I have started visiting an aesthetician and having regular procedures done, my skin has significantly improved (I occasionally get a pimple around my period). As of now, my skin’s condition is very good.
My OBGYN is starting me on Birth Control containing ethinylestradiol and drospirenone for treating LUF syndrome and high levels of DHEA-S and 17-OH Progesterone.
As I told the doctor, my main concern about it is possible worsening of my skin’s condition after I go off the pill. He told me such thing would not happen.
I am looking into any information and experience about this type of BC - particularly on the effects on the skin; also - PMS and libido.
Thank you in advance!
