Can taking birth control pills cure acne?
The statement that contraceptives treat acne is true to some extent.

But two conditions must be met:

1, acne type is acne (acne) caused by excessive androgen secretion in the body and excessive skin oil secretion;

2. The type of contraceptive used is to reduce androgen, not the kind of contraceptive usually purchased.

Therefore, if you want to treat acne by taking birth control pills, it is recommended to buy them under the guidance of a doctor.

To add:

1, there are many kinds of contraceptives, which can be roughly divided into two types.

First, inhibit the maturation and ovulation of eggs (commonly used contraceptives)

B, control hormones (usually used to regulate endocrine during menstruation)

2. Causes of acne (acne)

First, abnormal hormone secretion

Living environment and personal hygiene

C, bacterial infection or mites

D, drug stimulation or improper use of cosmetics

E, some skin allergies or skin diseases.

F, mental factors (excessive tension, often staying up late, etc. )

Summary: It must be the acne caused by reason A, and the use of B contraceptives can play a role. In other cases, taking birth control pills does not treat acne. At the same time, due to the large side effects of contraceptives, it is not recommended to buy and take them at will, and they can only be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Pure hand tour, hope to adopt!
