i was on bc for about 4 years and recently decided to stop taking it. initially i had no bad side effects until about 4-5 after stopping it. after those 4-5 months i noticed i was breaking out extremely bad on my shoulders and back (which i’ve never had before) my face really didn’t show a difference. i talked to a few girls who said the same thing had happened to them and eventually it went away but it’s been almost 8 months and i still continue to break out. i started taking zinc because my primary doctor had recommended it for helping breakouts but again nothings helping. if you’ve dealt with this, did something about and see results please give me some tips on what i can do!!!
