In Topic: Bye Birth Control, Hello Happy Feelings?

02 January 2013 - 12:35 PM

When I stopped taking birth control a year ago, my face broke out in a crazy rash-like fiasco of pimples (was taking it since I was 15-18). I went to the doctor and it was because of dry skin (over cleaning due to my increased acne). LIke I sad before, it has been a year and no change. I'm probably going back on the birth control pills since my acne has NEVER been this bad. Although I'm unsure when I can stop taking them. I don't know... I need to talk to my doc because I really don't want to go back on the BC pills since breast cancer runs in my family and don't want a heightened risk.


Damn that sucks :/ What did you end up doing?

Haha you really have to intensely remind yourself that it DOES NOT make things look better. When you see a spot that you want to pick, dab a little of the mask on and cover it! I swear if you are consistent it helps.

I remember this stage! :(

Don't pick girly! I know it's SUPER hard. But Differin thins the top layer and any
marks you make are going to be a little more intense than before. I actually messed
up and have a stupid red mark on my face now because I pushed too hard. Your skin
WILL look amazing if you give it time and don't harass it. Get a gentle clay mask or opaque
spot treatment and use that when you want to pick.

That is super frustrating :/
I usually break out before vacations and things haha! It sucks.
Try to enjoy your parties to the fullest. You never know what awesome
memories you could be making if you aren't hung up on your skin.

I don't really. But I've seen a lot of people who do. Unfortunately it seems to be mostly guys.
