Birth control and acne?

I'm on birth control for my acne. Will birth control only heal hormonal acne or should it clear all of it? Like, say I broke out from not washing my face one night will I still break out? Because I've been on birth control for almost 2 months now and still get breakouts. I wash my face every night. Could it be from my makeup or something?

    Acne is a problem which is caused due to hormonal chance in a body. Ever one (Men/ women), go through hormonal chance and thus suffer from acne problem.

    Few people see moderate acne and some experience sever acne.

    Again coming to your birth control, pill or other methods which ever you are using, acts by causing some hormonal change in the body, thus they avoid the unwanted pregnancy.

    I do not know who advised you to use birth control pills for treating acne.

    There are many other creams pill and gels which can be used to treat acne, like Ratino A cream, A ret Cream, Kojic Acid with Vitamin C, Accutane and many more. If you wish you can visit topdrugmart for more information.
