Hormonal imbalance, shortened cycle since one year and return of hormonal pimples (cysts on chin and temples). Already took the pill between 15 and 26 years old (cyclen and tricyclen: too strong in estrogen). I stopped taking this pill because of headaches and heartaches.

Hello,

All birth control pills can help with this. There are some, however, that have a slightly more significant effect on acne. This is the case with Yaz, a 4th generation pill that contains drosperinone. Be aware, however, that this medication may lead to an increased risk of blood clots. Your doctor will therefore be able to help you find the pill that is best for you, depending on your history.
