Acne and birthcontrol.

I just started a birthcontrol about two weeks ago, it seemed to be clearing my face up at first, but then it started to break out more than normal. Im not really sure if it's from the birthcontrol (i take ocella by the way) or if its because i had to use a different face wash for a couple days because i had run out of my usual face wash. Im going to give it a few more days, but if it is from the birth control does anyone know of any effective ways to control acne caused by birth control.?

    I think ewokteeth has a masturbation problem.. It's like the third post he tells people to stop <.<

    Op if you think your birth control is causing your acne, try looking at the side effects of that birth control, if it's on there, try switching to something else.

    Sometimes it can take a couple of months for your body to completely adjust to the new hormones you are taking. Continue on, if you don't see the results you want after a couple of months, ask your doctor if there's a different brand you can try.
