Im 24. And When i have my period i get cystic acne, the blood test said my testosterone levels are high but Im just getting cystic acne, my gyne sugested me yasmin, so i just started taking yasmin three weeks ago, and god, my skin is breaking out HORRIBLE! Around my jaw and even three or four (cystic too) on my cheeks.
Is that normal? Am i purging? Should o wait?
Im also changing my diet, no coke, no juice, just water, fruits, natural yogurt, etc.
And im using BABE PURIFYING GEL, with sal.acid and zinc, its very gently.
Im depressed, I feel ugly.
I need an advice. Im losing hope.
Hi there, before starting yasmin 4 months ago I suffered from hormonal acne in the form of massive cysts on my period and at 21 this really bugged me . When I started yasmin my first strip made my skin worse but I persevered! I've just started my fourth pack and my skin has really improved... I no longer get cystic acne only one or two small pimples toward the end of each pill pack. If you are not suffering from any other side effects I'd stick with it as its working really well for me!
I never tried Yasmin but the combination of Tri-Sprintec birth control and a paleo diet cleared up my skin completely. However, when I eventually stopped birth control my acne came back with a vengeance, my period stopped for 3-4 months and my hormone imbalance seemed to be worse than ever before. If you have high testosterone you may have PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) like me. I would highly recommend going to a naturopath or functional medicine doctor who could help you balance your hormones without birth control (unless you want to be on it for other reasons). I am on a couple of herbal supplements and my acne has been under control for 2 years. Good luck!

That's great herbs have helped you. Out of curiosity, what herbal supplements worked for you? It's unique for every person, of course, but I'd like to have some ideas if I ever go this route.
