Hello

Im having to stop taking Yasmin, as its making my skin very itchy. It starts like bites and itches like mad! scabs over and still itches b4 fading, new ones keep coming up all the time.
I ruled out bedbugs, washing powder, diet etc.....
Has anyone else had itchy skin caused by there pill??

Also, need to know of some other contraceptive pills i could try.... interested to hear about ones that do not cause weight gain or mood swings, tearfulness etc...

Thanks
Snowbunny

noticed improvement in amount of hair on my chin, considerably finer now and less of it. Cream drying up spots and hope it stops new ones erupting.

yes! i started yasmin and have developed rashes and extremely dry itchy skin...looks like rosacea. the redness went away after a while, but it really changes your skin; for me it makes my skin feel thicker.

I've been having this itchy skin problem as well recently. I'm getting little pimply bumps on my upper arms mostly, and lots of dry skin. Which is weird cause I've been on Yasmin for over 5 years now and never had this before. Never thought it could be due to the BCP...
