Hi, I was taking althea pills last 10 months ago then I stop it last 2 months because of my slow menstruation. But, now I use it back again for 1 month and 2 weeks then I have notice that I get acne on my face is this one of side effects? I'd never experience when I use althea before. Please let me know. Thanks
Hello dear user! I have gone through your query and understood your concerns! Thank you for sharing them on healthcaremagic. Contraceptive drugs do not cause acne, and they are even used to treat acne. They make the skin more beautiful. Rash is a side effect or a reaction to althea pills. It must not be misdiagnosed as acne. I think that the acne you are having now may be as e result of cycle disorders from the quitting of the pill before. Now your hormonal levels are not stabilized after taking althea pills. It may require some more time to do that. Anyway i would recommend you to talk with your doctor who has prescribed that to see you from a closer view. I hope this answer was helpful to you! Please kindly rate it and write a short review about your experience with me! Thank you and best regards! DR ERIOL.
