could quitting bc cause this?

Question

I quit my birthcontol a few months ago.. Could that cause me to break out more?? Anyone else experince this?

Thanks

It has to do with pregnancy since I am trying to get pregnant... Omg... ok, heres the deal, if you can't answer nicely then don't answer at all ;)

Answer 1

Yes, it could. Sometimes the birth control will cause your face to clear up, then when you quit it will go back to acne. Happened to me. Your hormones may just need to balance out. In the mean time you can try topical acne treatments.

Answer 2

It depends on what kind of birth control you were on. I'm on the birth control pill that specializes in taking care of acne and I went off for about two months and broke out slightly- not major, but still more than usual.

So I suppose it is possible, you just need to tell us more information!

Answer 3

Absolutely. Many doctors do prescribe birth control pills to young women simply to help control hormones which in turn can cause acne.

Answer 4

I have. It's normal. There is a horemone in birth control that helps stop acne. Your body just needs to get used to being without the extra horemones and the breakouts will stop.

Answer 5

The real question is how long you were on birth control. Your body changes and adjusts to birth control and if you quit taking it your body has to readjust. Yes you can break out until your body gets your chemistry back on track.

Answer 6

Any changes in your hormones can cause acne. It's more common for bc to cause acne, but it's all in the hormones.

Answer 7

No it cannot cause this.I woud have to say that its probably either something you have consumed or possibly stress.

Answer 8

Ok seriously what that hell does this have anything to do with pregnancy???
