Acne
"I started taking birth control mainly for acne. I&#039;ve had severe body acne since I was a teen. It&#039;s been so bad that I&#039;ve been embarrassed to wear clothes that even expose my shoulders since my skin resembles a Dalmatian. I&#039;m 22 now and I&#039;ve tried all sorts treatments including head and shoulders, zinc supplements, ointments galore, and salicylic acid. None had a lasting change. 

Then finally, I went on birth control for the first time. Wow. At last. I am on week 3. No new acne, anywhere. My skin is even less oily, red, and irritated.

As a bonus, my breast seems fuller! I haven&#039;t had any mood swings, bloating or cramps. (I was very worried about that before). Just exercise and stay positive!"
