If I take the pill, am I likely to have even more acne?
Everything depends on your particular pill! The earliest pills can actually worsen your acne due to the type of hormones they contain. In contrast, recent pills (called "3rd generation") have no negative effect on the state of your skin, and can even help improve your acne. It is therefore important to discuss the condition of your skin with your gynaecologist when you are prescribed your pill.
