i've been taking diane35 on and off for a year now. but didnt encountered any problems with pimples.as a matter of fact my face cleared up. the pimples began showing when i used nordette as ecp last july. i used it also as bcp for a month. then switched to diane because big pimples started showing up and i thought that my face will start to clear up again when i used diane again.unfortunately it worsen and started showing all over my face every day. i dont know how to control it.what am i going to do with this?is this acne?

Hi Anon,

Users of nordette have claimed that acne is a side effect of the medication. You may have to wait a couple of months until Nordette is completely out of your system. If it has been more than two months and it is still getting progressively worse, please visit a dermatologist to aid the healing of your acne.

Best Wishes,

Rosa
