Acne after stopping BC - when's it going to end!

I had mild acne in highschool and started BC (Trifeme 28 - which isn't specifically for acne) when I was 17 years old. This cleared my skin beautifully and apart from the odd pimple, I never thought twice about my skin. Since stopping BC 4 months ago, my skin got really oily and I broke out in acne all over my forehead (tiny red bumps), my chest, back and a couple on my nose and cheeks. I immediately started back on BC (Yasmin - recommended for skin) and after 2 months have only seen mild improvement. My acne is only mild - moderate. but I'm just wondering if it's ever going to go! My chest is completely clear now, and my back is beginning to come right, but my forehead is still pimply (although no new ones there). Should Yasmin have been doing more by now, or is it normal for BC to take 3 - 6mnths to kick in? My oily skin is 100% gone, but don't know why the pimples aren't following? Would love to hear from people who have had the same thing happen, and their skin completely recovered!!

Re: Acne after stopping BC - when's it going to end!

Whats your age? Im 42 and was on BC pills for almost 20 yrs ( low dose ones) and I stopped them a yr ago and my body is going crazy!! I NEVER had acne in high school
and now ( while on the pill too) have horrible acne!! I stopped the pill a yr ago and
Im still suffering from acne, insomnia, digestive problems, fatigue, headaches and
mood swings! Read my thread on here. Im also FED UP with this acne, imagine being
42 and having big huge pimples constantly on your face! I tried proactive but it dries
me out so bad I look 10 yrs older!! Im convinced now that birth controll pills are evil
and NOONE at any age should be on them. They mess up your entire system while
on them and especially going off them. I may never be healthy again due to my
yrs on them. My advice is to warn everyone you know about this.....
