Starting To Breakout After Five Months On Bc?

Hey guys, I'm almost on my sixth month of Yaz, and starting my fifth month, I began to break out. I didn't have any initial break outs so I thought I was one of the lucky ones, and I'd become about 99% clear in the months before.

I started to breakout when I took two pills in one day because I forgot one instead of skipping it (I didn't read about this til later - oops), and experienced spotting for around three weeks, which really wasn't fun, so I guess my hormones were all over the place for a while. I also changed my skin care/foundation routine at the same time which was a bad move because they didn't suit my skin and made me breakout like crazy. I've started using new non-comedogenic skin care/foundation in the past two weeks though.

Has anyone else been on birth control and has broken out quite a few months into taking it? How long should I wait to become clear again? (I'm thinking about nine months, but I have no idea!)

Based on your sig, you are taking a really high dose of spirulina.

Spirulina contains high amounts of iodine, which is an essential mineral, but causes breakouts when in excess cause it messes with your hormones...

Same thing goes for kelp and seaweed.
