Lo ogestrel
Okay. So I've been on lo ogestrel for about 2 weeks now. And I've broken out outrageously. Like I used to get maybe three at a time and alot of blackheads on my face and the occasional back zit. Since I've been on this pill, I've gotten like 4 zits on my back, a ton on my butt, a few in m cleavage, and my forehead is covered in white heads, as well as other parts of my face. My question is, I know it's a possible side effect, but has anyone else on this pill experienced this? And if so does it go away after the first month or so, or did it stay that way for you? Thanks. And yes Ik bc is different for everyone but I'm desperate here

I haven't been on that birth control, but I have been on plenty of others. And yes, the common side effect will be acne. Fortunately in most cases it'll slow down/decrease the amount of pimples.
Acne starts because your body is trying to transition to the pill, including the contraceptives that "claim" to decrease zits. This will usually occur in the first few months.
The only thing you can do is ask a Doctor for antibiotics that won't decrease effectiveness of the birth control. Also, ask for prescription facial/body wash (they have it; I've used it), and they may recommend changing around your diet and exercise habits.
First few months are always hard.. I hated mine.. and you're right how it varies from everyone, and different contraceptives show different results. So if after a few months it gets worse or persists, I would recommend you changing your birth control.
