Jawline Acne Hormonal

birth control/hormonal acne question?


i'm 21 and for the past couple of month i've been experiencing acne. i went to the gyno after i had a pap test and she prescribed me a low dose of yasmin. another doctor told me it's definately hormonal acne because it's around my jawline and sometimes on my chest and back. so i went to the gyno in january and i only just got my period a week ago (kind of scary) so i started the birth control 4 days ago on sunday. my skin was starting to clear up before i got my period which i thought was weird. since i've been taking yasmin since sunday i've noticed my skin has gotten worse and i'm noticing some acne on my chest which had disappeared. does birth control make acne wrose before it gets better? is it the birth control that's giving me pimples again? if i were to stop after 4 days would it have an effect on me? i'm not sexually active but i wanted to take it to regulate my periods since i only just got it a week ago for the first time since january.

Yes, it sounds like it’s definitely the birth control hormones that are affecting your skin. Hormones do crazy things to people and cause tons of different side effects. You body is also still developing. Try this – Since you aren’t sexually active anyway, stop taking the birth control for 2 weeks, then see if you notice a difference in your skin. That will give you your answer.

If you skin does not improve: it was not the birth control.
If your skin improves: it was your birth control and I would try request to try another method. If you find that you don’t like what hormones do to your body (as I didn’t) There are non-hormonal birth control available -- Talk to your doc.

Are there any diseases/hormonal conditions that cause acne on chin?


I have perfect skin from my forehead to the bottom of my nose. But above my lips down to my jawline, I have horrible acne. Are there any hormonal disorders or conditions that this might be a symptom of? No matter what I do I cant get rid of them, they are also on my lips and are painful.
I have regular periods, but i have depression.

Is there any chance that you're touching your face more in that area without realizing it? That could contribute to clogged pores on transferring bactieria from your hands. If you use anything on your lips like gloss or chapstick that can effect the area too.
