Can you tell me more about the effects of stopping birth control?

Question

Hello, I am 21 years old, I am a woman, I have been taking birth control since I was 14 and I would like to stop. However, I have read on many websites that I could have a huge acne outbreak. Oh, I understand. Thanks so much for the quick feedback!

Hello again, Basically, stopping birth control will cause the return of 'normal' menstruation, which is probably heavier in terms of bleeding Acne may occur, but this has been shown to occur in people who were taking this type of product for the treatment of acne and who stopped it. It's not automatic that stopping birth control will cause acne. I hope I've been helpful, I'll be available if you have any further questions. Tom Samaha, pharmacist We'd love to!
