I am 15 years old and I am debating whether or not to go on birth control. I have never had acne before, and every single time I get my period I breakout. Probably the hormones and stress, and I’ve been thinking if I show go on birth control so it can regulate my hormones and my acne too. Anyone on BC that’s had the same problem and it’s resolved it? Share your experiences with birth control in the comments. I know it doesn’t work the same for everyone but I just want to hear what you guys have to say. I have also heard downsides like, saying you can gain weight, etc. I am going to attempt the pill and see what happens.

As you can see my face is pretty clear except for the left side because of my current period breakout.
