Hello. I am a woman 22 years old and I use birth control pills for contraception. They are highly effective, and I have even noticed that my acne have almost disappeared. I think that it has something to do with it! And then my friend told me that it in fact has everything to do with it! She even told me that it is effective against depression. Are both true, or?
Used in small amounts, birth control pills do have a positive effect on acne. That is proven for a fact. And it works on PMDD, the most severe form of premenstrual syndrome. And PMDD is similar as depression, so it works on it too. Imagine that. So if you have a problem with acne or depression and you need effective contraception, you can go to one doctor, and not two.
