Yasmin and moderate acne

Hi Ladies, i have been on both yaz and Yasmin for about 6 years. I went off of it about 2 years ago, and i began to get moderate acne on my face and back/shoulders. After 9 months of trying everything imaginable to clear up this problem, i finally went back on the pill. that cleared my skin up but left me with hyperpigmentation. My question is to all of you suffering from the rebound effect of acne: has anyone tried to taper down the dosage of switch to an altogether different pill for a few months and then getting of of it?

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!

I was on Yasmin for 3 years and never experienced any significant side effects. I tried several different contraceptives to help with my menstrual cramps, and Yasmin was the only one that didn't make me crazy. I didn't notice any obvious weight gain, and I never experienced the horrible things I have seen written on here. I sympathize with everyone. Several other types of pills have negatively affected me: Alesse, Femcon Fe. I think it at depends on the person. About 4 months ago, I decided to go off of the pills just to see if my cramps would still be as bad as they used to be. They weren't, but as soon as I came off the pill, I got mild to moderate acne, I was sweating like a man, and generally felt exhausted. I decided to go back on Yasmin simply to help my acne.
