I used to take Tri-cyclin pills for about 2 and a half years. Then I went off the pill completely for about 3 months and started developing moderate acne on my face and chest. To get rid of the acne I recently started taking Yasmin. I have only been on Yasmin for a couple weeks now and I've noticed the acne on my face has gotten worse. I'm wondering if this is only temporary, because Yasmin is known to clear up acne? If anyone has experienced similar symptoms or knows what the problem is, please let me know. Thanks!

Hey knowsitall.
I must honestly admit - I use to be on Yasmin for years and battled with my skin and thought it was hormonal. Then went off it for a few months.. my skin cleared up and I lost all the weight I gained. Then I had to go back on the Yasmin due to PCS - And guess what - My skin is looking terrible, the weight is coming back and the cellulite is being rubbed on my skin!!
Im going to phone my gynae tomorrow as reading your message has confirmed what I have been thinking for awhile now - Yasmin is the reason for my bad skin !!!!
