I'm not sure the two are related, but that's why I'm asking! I was switched from a name brand to a generic form of birth control (Reclipsen) and have noticed my skin breaking out more. What's worse is sometimes at night my skin will get itchy and I'll scratch- but the itching won't stop. I get these reddish welts on my legs that look like razor bumps, but I shaved over a day ago and didn't have any problems. Can certain birth controls cause skin sensitivity like this?
