Question
I started taking the pill about a month or so.  i don't need to be on birth control since i had my tubes tied after my last child was born, but my doctor put on the pill because of my crazy periods and the painfull cramps i was having. But since i have been taking this pill i have broke out into a terrible rash that started on my chest has worked its way to my arms and some areas on my legs. I'm trying to figure out if it is caused from the pill or if it is something else going on with my body.

Thank you for your time

Answer
Hi Joy,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a medical doctor but I urge you to check with your own personal physician. There are a lot of side effects from the birth control pill and if you email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com I will send you the list. I'm at work right now and don't have access to that list of side effects. It also could be something else so that's why I think you should check with your doctor. I hope you figure out this problem.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
