Birth Control
"I started taking this pill when I was 18, and I&#039;m now 22.  I have had no really awful side effects... no weight gain, no bloating, bad eye sight etc... but one thing I did notice right when I switched from Desogen is that the skin on my face, especially around my eyes, began to develop some red splotches.  At first I thought it was acne because they were like little red bumps.  Those eventually went away, but now I have to admit that the skin on my face is pretty significantly discolored... lots of dark patches as the possible side effects listed tells you.  But I&#039;ve heard that there are skin lighteners that can be applied and with proper sunscreen use (which I&#039;m bad at), the dark patches will go away and won&#039;t come back."
