I've been off of BC for a month now and i have a few pimples popping up on my forehead and the sides of my face, and not big painful ones, just little itchy ones. When i was on the pill I never had a major breakout, maybe an occasional zit, but even that's rare.    Report

It can be harsh but if you use it especially after eating anything unusually fatty in your diet, it can really scare away any problems before they start. That's best if you are clubbing for like 7 hrs straight and then only see the mirror at 5 am. Less ugly surprises.    Report
