Yasmin - Breaking out month 3?

Have a week until I start month four of Yasmin and am still breaking out ): My skin is maybe slightly less oily, however I haven't seen much change in it. Month one my skin felt really smooth (am also taking Tetralysal and started that a month before Yasmin, so may have been due to that kicking in?), month two I had a lot of small skin coloured bumps on my forehead which I never usually get, and month 3 I've started to get quite a few whiteheads.
However, my cheeks which are always clear have stayed clear - it's only my problem area (forehead) which is breaking out

Anyone else have a similar experience with Yasmin or any other birth control pill? If so, how long did the 'initial breakout'- if that's what this is - last?

I'm on week 1 of Yasmin. I took roaccutane for a full year and started breaking out again after 1 month off it. Originally, these horrendous breakouts began when I came off the pill so I decided to give Yasmin a whirl as my derm said I have a problem with oil. The acne is absolutely awful - all over my face but I'm hoping it will start to improve. If it doesn't within the first month I may have to stop as I'm worried my skin will began to scar.

How are are you getting on with it now?
