You should have been warned that you might suffer dysfunctional (erratic) uterine bleeding for 13-26 weeks on Cerazette. (As with all mini pills). This is usually a temporary problem and after 6 months increasing numbers of women stop having periods at all on mini pills, 70% by one year.
I am not convinced the deterioration in your skin will resolve though. You are a little temporally challenged to use combined OC, and there is not much point in trying other mini pills, so your options are limited.
Your contraceptive options come down then to perhaps the Mirena coil, which might just also decrease your menstrual headaches, without upsetting your skin, and vasectomy. ( The best form of sterilisation!)

I'm 46. For the first 3 months of taking Cerazette I bled then suddenly it stopped - fantastic absolutely no spotting or periods after that. What a great invention.

I took Cerazette and for the first 3months i had near enough non stop bleeding, but after that nothing at all so its worth sticking with unless it gets unbearable. But cerazette is really effective! Keep going, but discuss with ur dr if you feel its a major problem and they may suggest something else to help!
Good Luck!

i am on this pill and it does cause irregular bleeding for the first few months of use. I now have regular bleeding but it is every 2 months instead of every month. This may be different for different people on this pill but one of the main side effects is irregular bleeding.
