Question

Is there any birth control pills that can help treat acne?

Answer 1

YAZ is supposed to.. but its not helping me immediately.. people say it will take a while to make a difference. Dont listen to HANK :|  He must be a little slow if he thinks that acne can be solved simply by washing our face.. Goodnes.. I wish it was easy to get rid of

Answer 2

Just to add to & Hearts' comment, erythromycin is an antibiotic...which kills bacteria...meaning it can kill some of the bacteria that causes acne. That could be a big reason it is clearing up her acne as well.

Just wanted to add that in. I don't know too much about the acne fighters in birth control, though. I'd imagine there are A LOT of options that clear up your skin though, esp if you find you have more breakouts during certain times (meaning they are hormone-regulated). Ask the doc you get ****** control from (or planned parenthood or whatever).

Answer 3

you might ask a doctor

but it would be alot easier

WASH YOUR FACE WITH SOAP

Answer 4

ya i take YAZ and it works really well. i no longer suffer from acne, but i am also taking a pill called ethromycene, and i am applying two different topical lotions and morning and night.
