Is There Anything Else I Can Try Other Than A Contraceptive?
I hope so
i have been on dianette for over 15 years now, and i am wanting to come off it to try for a baby. I have been worried that if i come off it my skin will go back to how it was. I have been off it now for 1 month and my skin is getting spotty, my hair is greasy and skin also. Is there anything else i can try other than a contraceptive ?

Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your skin is spotty , greasy which is is because of increased sensitivity of getting pigmented, clogged pores of salivary glands, hormonal changes and due to stress. Due to increased sun exposure and increased sensitivity body is absorbing UV rays of sun and getting pigmented. Need not to worry. Well you should taper off contraceptive use now. I would suggest you to apply clindamycin gel on daily basis. You should use kojivit cream. Apply on face twice daily. It will lighten skin. Apply mashed potatoes on these pigments. Apply aloe vera gel it will resolve. Use medicated sunscreen such as Tancare rich in SPF 26. You can visit dermatologist once and can go for chemical peeling or micro abrasion if your symptoms not resolving. Take supplements rich in vitamin C.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
