Hello All,

I recently developed mild to moderate acne (most whiteheads) after going off BCP. I did not have acne as an adolescent nor previously when going on and off the pill. I was last on YAZ and I swear that pill is poison. I went off it due to a HUGE increase in cellulite. A month off YAZ and I lost ten lbs and my entire thigh and buttock area transformed. Anyhow, as nice as that is, now I have acne. I have read a lot of "miracle" results from those who have taken spiro but I also noticed many mention "cysts" in their posts. I do not have cystic acne. My acne has persisted for about 6 months. I have MAJOR sebum production but not "oily" skin. At least, it is not oily to the touch but maybe I misunderstand the term?

How long after going off BCP can you expect the resultant acne to last? More specifically, is it possible this will level out? Best BC for acne? Spiro suitable for mild to moderate acne?

Thank you all for reading!
