The pill and acne ...
Because of the important role that hormones play in the development of acne, many women find that birth control pills can clear their complexions while providing contraceptive benefits. If you have severe or treatment resistant acne, your doctor or dermatologist may consider prescribing birth control pills. "The pill" works by stabilizing hormonal imbalances and there are several preparations available that are approved for the treatment of acne. Although fluctuating hormones cause acne, there are many underlying medical conditions that affect hormonal levels, so it's important to consult your doctor.
