Depo / acne???
Posted: 08-03-04 21:49pm

Help! I am getting my third depo shot and I think I will have to stop. Depo had caused me bad acne along my hair line and by my ears. This is the only problem I have had with the shot. Should I stop it? Is their anything else I can take that wont make me break out? Thanks!

You would just have to!experiment with pills until you found one that didn't cause you any problems.
But, if you like depo and are not having any other problems with it, maybe ask your doctor if there is anything you can do about the acne?

I am 17, and I wouldnt recommend you got off of depo because to transition from having to remember to take the pill every day may be a little hard. You might still get acne with the pill also. Try treating the acne you are having...Lots of good medications that are over the counter out these days, or try going to the dermatoligist!
