has anyone stopped using birth control and then started breaking out? if so, how did you deal with it? i plan to stop using it and am pretty scared if i break out. i was originally on it to combat acne

I switched birth control and started breaking out 😭 I’ve been washing my face, moisturizing, and TRYING not to pick at it or touch my face. But it’s hard. I haven’t done anything else. I’ve been debating on washing it twice a day but I’ve never done that before. Thinking of trying red light therapy but haven’t yet. I just kinda deal with it 😭😭😭

Yes it’s hormonal acne. You either have to get back on it or you can try spironolactone. That worked for me. But it killed my sex drive unfortunately so I got off and got back on my bc

@stinaaa omg i am so sorry 😔

@Geekiecookie ugh 😔
