My acne is at it's worst

I spent the evening crying in the bathroom and need help and advice. I'm on my second month of ortho tri cyclen.

My forehead is covered and I mean COVERED in red marks, bumps and pores. It's horrible. And before about 2 months ago if I popped a zit it would just go away but now I have marks from when I popped zits months ago....

My nose is filled with huge open pores and blackheads.

My upper lip has tons of acne marks from popping zits and my chin has small bumps. I can't even look at myself in the mirror it's hit an all time low. Help me

Is it the BC pill?

First of all, try not to stress too much about it. Stress makes thing worse.

are you on birth control? If so, that could be what's making things worse.

Don't worry about red marks, they will fade eventually.

it could definitely be the birth control, particularly if you were relatively clear before starting....talk to your gyno about other options....search this board for brands that work better with acne....good luck, and do try to relax....you are taking control, fighting back, give yourself some credit and a break from that mirror
