Post-pill acne 😩

Y’all... no one warned me about post-pill acne. And I’m pissed the hell off. I got off my hormonal birth control pills around 7 months ago after 3 years because it was having undesirable effects on my blood pressure and anxiety levels. I knew that it would take a while for my period to regulate itself.. but NO ONE, not even the doctor, ever said anything about the horrendous post-pull acne that apparently nearly all women who get off the pill experience?!? I’ve never had acne in my life until now... and I’m so depressed that I’ve done this to myself. My back used to be so beautiful.. now I’m ashamed to go out in a bathing suit this summer...

The acne started about 3 months after I stopped the pill, so at first I was very bewildered. Then after desperate research to try to find an answer, I found that this is a very common occurrence 🤬 If only I had known 😩 The acne is mostly on my back.. occasionally my face will flare up and I don’t even want to leave the house. And the acne is so painful and uncomfortable. I’m literally so mad that I didn’t know about this and the only person to blame is myself. It’s been 4 months since it started and it seems there’s no end in site.

Will my skin be like this forever or does it get better ?? I read that it can take up to TWO fucking years for your hormones to get back to normal??? Lord have mercy

I’ve also been noticing darker hair coming in in undesirable locations 🙃🙃

What the actual fuck have I done to my body 🤦🏻‍♀️
