Okay so long story short I had to use Plan B in the middle of this past August. I didn't become pregnant as I got my period two weeks later (phew), but a couple of days after taking the pill, I began having massive uncontrollable breakouts. It is now almost the beginning of October and I'm still having a significant amount of facial acne. I'm 20 years old and have never really had a lot of skin issues before, but believe this new bout of acne problems may be due to a hormonal imbalance caused by the pill. Also some extra info: I've never used any other birth control before other than this one time using the plan b pill, so I've never interfered with my natural hormones before this. I know the pill can throw your hormones off for several months, but I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced severe acne side effects ( I'm talking entire face covered and scarring forming all over, serious) before? If so, how long did this last? Any recommendations on how to get my hormone levels back to normal? Or any advice to prevent the acne from scarring, while this is going on? I'm desperate for any sort of advice, I'm honestly clueless on how to deal with this!
Hey, I took plan B in July and I having hard time too.
It's been a month since you posted this. How is your breakout going?
I just bought saw palmetto and spearmint tea and I eat really healthy and work out again.
I have researched about this a lot. Usually people complains about they are having breakout due to the plan b and disappeared!!
So I assume they got better ! lol
Lets share progress !
