What Causes Blister-like Marks On Torso While Intermittently Taking Birth Control Pills?

I believe I messed up my birth control pill routine quite significantly over the past couple of months. I m at the point where I m on the placebo of the pack that I think was the 2nd one I messed up on. My gyno says she d like me to let her know if upon starting this next fresh pack and getting back on track i m still noticing spotting, etc. My question is this: Within this period of time, I ve also had small, blister-like marks on my torso (back/stomach, chest, upper arms). Some look like that, and others are spots of blotchy/raised skin. I saw a PA and they gave me a antifungal with steroids for any potential allergic reactions or fungus. It s not working so much...they may go away, but new marks keep popping up. I m wondering if this may have anything to do with the wonky birth control routine per chance?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms that you have stated here and history of hormone medicine taken for contraception are nothing to do with each other and the present symptoms need to be managed separately, hope this helps, take care and have a nice day.
