So I'm a lesbian so I don't really need birth control's primary function but I'm still curious about it. I have really bad break outs and my dermatologist has prescribed me everything under the sun and still nothing helps. I've seen some women say that their pill helped clear their skin so I was thinking of talking to my doctor about it. Should I? it it worth it? I'm still nervous about ever being on it though because my mother had terrible reactions to it whenever she was on the pill. If my mom gets a bad reaction from it, does that increase my own possibility of reacting badly to it?
