Questions on birth control
Hi , i am a 23 year old female. I would like to take birth control . Would like to ask how should i take birth control if my cycle length is about 30+ days. Also, would birth control increase my chances of getting worse breakouts? Would birth control with estrogen prevenmy skin from reacting to the birth control (and also help with my acne) ?
Thank you. X

Hi there. Thank you for your question.
For your information, there are a few choices of contraceptive. The suitability of each is depend on your condition and choice. However, the length of cycle does not effect the decision on what method you should take.
On top of that, all hormonal contraceptive method contain estrogen and progesterone.But, there is some that contain only progesterone only and it is usually given to women who’s still breastfeed. But, taking oral combined contraceptive pill did help with the acne if the causes of acne is due to hormonal imbalance as the pills will help in regulating the hormone.
