Anyone else out there who has recently getting chin and jawlline acne and was given a BCP for it. I was given Yaz and am afraid to start taking it. Unsure if it is worth going back on it. I hate the pimples, but I would hate the effects the Yaz may have on my body. Unsure if it will even work. Have had no period trouble and I'm pretty regular. The only thing is the acne. Any ideas why? My acne started getting worse within the past 4 months. I had a few here and there but now all over chin on cheek and jawline. Help...

Just started having major issues with acne within the last 4 months. It is mainly on my chin. To me it is quite severe. I don't know how to handle this situation. I'm married with 3 wonderful boys. My husband has been great through all of this, but he hates my new found attitude. I'm sullen and stay indoors quite a bit. i avoid social interaction. Lucky for me(which may be my problem) I work graveyard. I can't look people in the eye. This disease is crippling me. Went to derm who gave me doxy and 4% bp. Only been on it a week. Wish results were instantaneous. Haven't really seen much.
It actually looks worse. I can't use make up or moisterizer(possible allergy to something) My chin is dry and my spots are beyond red and ugly. Can anyone relate.

Hi. I'm new to this issue. I'm 37 years old and now have severe acne on my chin area. Never had this type of acne before so unsure of why this is happening to me so suddenly. I have had bouts of acne here and there, but nothing like this. My whole chin area is full of acne lesions that are red and inflammed. A few have white pus, but not very big. This is driving me bonkers. I have completely isolated myself (when I can) I am married and now feel like an ugly ducklng. I did go to a derm who prescribed doxycycl hc and a 4% BP wash. She said do not put anything else on your face. No moisturizer no make-up (only mineral based pwder) Needless to say I'm a walking display of my acne. Very uncomfortable. Going to prim care dr who took blood to see if hormones which he thinks is unlikely because I don't have alot of the symptoms. Maybe a food or make up allergy? I got off brth cntrl at the beginning of 2008. It only has been a week, but that is too long. They say it gets worse before it gets better..who ever made that up needs to be shot. I see no improvement. i will try and post pics, but be warned. Any insight would be great.

what birth control were you on and how long after you stopped the birth control was it before you starting breaking out? I ask because I was on nuvaring for about a year and 4 mos after i stopped it is when my acne started up. I have tried going back on bc since then but it hasnt helped.
