What Causes Cystic Pimples On Chin?
Hi! I was on the birthcontrol pill LoLoestrin Fe for about a year and a half. About 6 months ago out of nowhere I started to devolp huge cystic pimples on my chin. I rarely get acne and I was postive it was my birthcontrol to thank for that. 1 month ago I switched to Mircette thinking that maybe it was the lo loestrin fe that was causing them. But this last month my acne has been worse then ever, I m having back acne which I ve never had before. If I switch back to the Lo loestrin fe after giving Mircette a few months, will my body act the same as it always did before?
