Can Depo Shots Cause Acne Breakouts ?
Could I be have these breakouts because I was on that Depo shot for almost 7 years and it s acne. I remembered the first time I started getting this was about 2 years after I was on the shot. Or could also, be the other birth control I m on now Pirmella 1/35 (Ortho-Novum1/35-28, or both.

Hello ma'am and welcome.
If the acne outbreaks began only most recently, i.e. after the initiation of Pimella, then this could be the more likely cause or it could even be a combined effect of both the birth control and the contraceptive you are on. Acne is a common side effect, and you could either ask your doctor to change the pimella or request for medication to tackle the acne.
Best wishes.
