Cystic acne- could it be related to BC?

2018-02-06 03:12:15
Hi! I have been taking Enskyce birth control pill for a few months and Lutera birth control pill for about a year and a half before that. I never had acne before starting birth control, but since I started, I experience regular cystic acne on my forehead and temples. It has been especially bad in the past few months. Could this be a side effect of the medication?
