Is safe to use birth control pill to control acne for 18 year girl?

Question

My daughter found her friends taking birth control pill to control acne, is it safe to use it? What side effect would be if use for long time?

Answer 1

not only is it safe but it also helps out alot with controling cramps, regulating your period, and some of them actually prevent certain cancers! there are no known long term side effects either, but if she decides she wants a baby, she'll probably have to wait a while untill her hormones are back to normal, a year at the most.

Answer 2

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.

The secret is never to touch the spots

Answer 3

yes it is safe. But it might not get rid of it. and some people gain weight when they get on the pill. I would look into other methods if it's just acne you want to control.

Answer 4

Not only would it control her acne, it would regulate her period and protect her from getting pregnant :-). Give her the pills, it is absolutely safe! Just she has to make sure she takes it everyday at the SAME time and correctly.

Answer 5

I actually took orthotricycline to help with my acne but thats not the only reason I was taking it if ya catch my drift. Before that I used tetracycline to control, works just the same as bc pills if your not ready for her to be on the pill this young

Answer 6

It's generally safe. There are side effects, which are a little different in every person. Fortunately there are plenty of brands out there. A woman may need to try several kinds before she finds one that doesn't give her unpleasant side effects.

Answer 7

El acné es un problema que afecta a casi toda la población en algún momento de su vida, desde el nacimiento hasta la madurez, presentándose tradicionalmente durante la adolescencia.
Existen recién nacidos con acné y mujeres que desarrollan acné tras la menopausia. También existen mil formas diferentes de curar el acné, pero realmente son formas de tratar los síntomas, pero no la enfermedad en sí ni su causa.
