Question
Hello, Im 21 and i started taking ortho-tricylin for acne, because I keep breaking out around my chin and mouth area. I have been on it for a month now, but am still getting breakouts recently. Does orth-tricyclin help for acne? and How long does it take? I have never had a problem with acne until the last year so I am guessing its hormonal.
I don't ever recommend birth control pills for acne or really for anything. I feel that the hormones are not healthy for a woman's body. Maybe do some research on this and try to find something else for your skin besides hormones (the Pill) Good luck. Write me back at CHERYL51@aol.com and I will try to do some research for you.
Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
