I'm trying out different birth controls and my latest was Alesse, I stopped it yesterday after a week and a half, I started getting cystic like acne and unbelievably oily skin, among a lot of other side effects. I have mild-moderate acne normally. I was on the nuva ring for awhile and my skin did well on that but I'm not fond of the idea of using a ring. So my question is what type of pill should I try if alesse worked horribly and nuva ring was pretty good. I'm a new poster, thanks for your help.
