I've been struggling with acne quite a while now.. at the moment I have clear skin bc of birth control , but I'm afraid It'll come back after I get off it. I was prescribed on birth control bc of my irregular periods & of course acne. The weird thing that I'm not sure if it's hormonal bc I didn't have any acne on my cheeks, jaw or anywhere below my nose. Although, I had mild acne on my forehead & my back... only in those areas. I'm afraid I would even have pcos bc of my irregular periods. I don't know what to do anymore. Should I see a endocrinologist or naturopath?

Definitely hormonal. The reason your skin cleared from birth control is due to a decrease in androgens circulating. It does not matter where you get acne for it to be hormonal their is no clear and cut areas. Hormonal can be on the back, face, body, anywhere.
