Hi. Im 17 years old and I just started birth control. Its either Yaz or Yasmin, I cant remember. I am used to having pretty nice skin with the occasional pimple. I've been on birth control for 7 days and my skin started to progressively breakout on my forehead and right cheek. The pimples aren't big zits theyre just small annoying clusters of pimples. I am stopping the pill because it has made me moody and aggressive but I was wondering how long it would take for my skin to clear up. Probably not long right because I was only on the pill for 7 days. I've heard people have bad breakout stories after stopping the pill and I hope that doesn't happen to me considering I didn't take it that long. What do I do? :(

Hi Kieranglynn, I'm no expert but if you have only taken the pill for 7 days your body and hormones should balance back to normal pretty quickly. Don't panic and don't take any rushed decisions, I'm sure your skin will be looking normal in a few days time!
