Hey guys, so I'm 20 years old and I've had cystic acne since I was probably 11/12. I've tried everything topical for the last 8 years to try and clear it up and finally made the decision to go to the doctor and try birth control. The reason I decided this too was because I also have crazy irregular periods and so I'm thinking I can kill two birds with one stone...hopefully. My only fear is that Yaz or Yazmin is most the one I'll be giving and I've heard about some crazy side effects from it and just terrible experiences in general. Has anyone taken those who can share their experience or taken some other form of birth control for acne?
