some cases it is thought that birth control pills reduce the affects of acne, it is not always the case and depends largely on the skin type, hygiene habits, and heredity factors,etc. So yeah Birth control pills may relieve PMS and cramps and in some cases acne but like i said its all depends on what is creating your acne eg hormones hygiene etc. The catch is that the negatives of the pill suck!! 1st you'll gain weight about 6kg's 2nd you could get acne yeast infections. Other side effects include headache, irregular periods, fatigue and abdominal pain.
Rather go to a dermatologist however read the brochures esp negative side effects!! un-less yr a homeopath in that case scrub scrub scrub lol but good luck!!!!!!

It really depends. There is no clear cut answer. Every woman makes a different cocktail of hormones in her body, and each type of pill differs in the blend.
Some pills contain blanks sometime in the cycle, other pill brands use those blanks for an iron supplement. A lot of time we hurt and cramp during that time of month is because we are deficient in iron, or can't absorb iron very well.
Alternatively, if you want to solve your cramps problem, try eating foods rich in iron first. Spinach salad every evening or every other evening is good because it has vitamins and minerals that let you absorb your iron better.
If you are very similar to your mother cyclically and symptom wise, or any other relative, whatever pill she uses or have used and worked might be the first place to start.
Just be cautious of newer pills that come out or pill alternatives.
For instance, Depo Provera was one of the first birth control shots. It would last approx. 3 month ans was attractive because no one could forget to take their contraceptive. Later it was banned because it gave girls osteoporosis. It was also one of the worst contraceptives for weight gain and users would generally gain much more than the 5 pound water weight despite what the label said.
If the dermatologist can determine it's not how you care for your skin that's the problem, but fluctuating hormones, then it makes sense to take the pill for acne.
If your cramps are really bad, and change in diet doesn't help (give it at least a month or two of consistency), then seeing your gynecologist about it might be a better option.
Who you see depends on which is more of an issue for you. The cramps or your acne?
If you can deal with your cramps and they aren't that bad, I'd go to the dermatologist (provided you're not interested in the pill for it's 'intended use' anyway). What the derm will prescribe will more likely have less risk and unwanted side effects than the pill.
If your cramps are bad, or you think you might become sexually active soon, go to your gyno instead. And you might get the extra benefit of clearing up your face to boot.
I hope that clears some things up.

Answer by Browneyes_09
I have been taking birth control pills since I was 14... I took 3 different types: Orthtricyclon Lo (i think thats how u spell it) and it worked really good and it actually helped my skin A LOT!!!... I then took YAZ and it helped my cramps but it gave me a lot of acne so i wouldnt recommend it AT ALL!!... I am now taking Sprintec and i most say so far so good... I suggest that u should try different types of birth control pills until u find what works for u...
Good luck
(always be patient with birth control.... it takes time to show the actual results)!!

Answer by Sharkattack
It did help clear my face, but it did not take my cramps away,
I suggest going to the gynecologist to get evaluated and then to maybe even get blood work done.
Everyone's body is different and there are many kinds of birth control. So going to the gyn-o will help sort through this.
good luck
