Hi,
I've been on the pill for about 2 months now and have started noticing brown patches on my face! I know it's Chloasma. I had clear skin before going on the pill and now it's starting to appear around my mouth and on my cheek. Make-up covers it up a little bit but then it looks like I've got dirt smears on my face because of it.
The doctor says it'll get worse the longer I stay on the pill but I'm happy being on it because I've had no side effects. Not even weight gain. She told me I should go on Depo - but I've been hearing nothing but bad things about it and I'm a scared to even go near it.
Does anyone else have this problem? If so what advice can you give?

My OB/GYN decided to control my migrains by stopping my cycle. By taking the pill not stop I had no period for 6 months. It was gradual, but by December 2004 I had this dark mask on my cheeks, upper lip, and chin. I dicided to go back to having my cycle hoping that it would go away but I still have that dirty face look. I regret following my doctor's advice.

I had the same problem. It mostly goes away in the winter. One spot didn't so I went to my dermatologist and he used a laser to burn it off. It took two expensive treatments but it's gone now. I am off the pill since I don't want this to happen again. We will see if I have the same problem this winter.
