A friend of mine has something going on
with her skin. It looks like a combo of
a severe breakout (big, red pimples) and
very, very dry skin. I do not feel close
enough or comfortable enough to ask her
about it. I see her for a very short
period of time weekly. My only thought
might be something she may be taking to
get pregnant or could it be a side effect
of getting off the pill?!?
If there is such a side effect from taking
something to get pregnant or from not
taking the pill anymore, please let me
know. She seems comfortable enough to go
out in public, which is why I really don't
feel it's appropriate to ask about it.
Thanks!

Hmm... I know that most types of pills
are actually supposed to help with acne.
She may need to have the Dr. Change her
pills. She could be having a reaction to
the type she's on.
Hope this helps!

Going off the pill can definitely cause
acne.. I'm not so sure about the dry
skin.. Maybe she started using products
for the acne.. But when I went off of bc
pills my acne went crazy. I recently
went on the patch which has gotten it back
under control..

It could also be some other medication
she's on. Sometimes even acne
medications make your skin worse before it
gets better.
