Hi - I've been off now for around 3 months. Pleased to say that my initial mood swings of coming off/alienation etc... have gone but the problem now is acne and really greasy skin. Has anyone else experienced this and does it clear up? As I am thinking about going back on Yasmin as I can't cope with the acne. It's on my chin, scalp and breasts - but painful sore lumps rather than zits. Any natural/herbal treatments for acne?

Im scared of getting spots too, I came off Yasmin for a while and got really bad skin, I went back on it and it cleared up. I am now off Yasmin again about 2 weeks and am afraid my skin will go bad again! But i'll find something to sort it, its better to feel normal and have bad skin than be on that horrible pill!!!

I was on Yasmin for years and loved my skin when I was on it. I have now been off of it for almost a year and my skin looks awful. I have acne on my face, back, and chest. I tried everything I could think of to get rid of it, but nothing worked all that well. I am now going back on Yasmin. I can't stand the acne and bumps on my face and I have given myself enough time to see if my acne would go away without the pill.
