What Causes Painful Spots On Face After Taking Morning-after-pill?

I took the morning after pill 3 weeks ago and since then I ve been getting really bad spots on my face, my skin has gone really greasy too. The spots are big and painful ones. Any idea if this is a side effect of Levonelle and when/if my skin will return to normal soon?

Hello.
Thanks for the query.
It's most probably acne caused due to hormonal imbalance.
Acne treatment needs a combination of approach.
Please follow this regimen.
1. Apply epiduo cream (adapalene) in night keep it for an hour and wash your face.
2. Apply dew soft moisturiser and sleep.
3. In early morning apply clindac gel (clindamycin).
4. After bath apply suncote gel.
Carry on with this regimen for a month you will get improvement.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
