I have neen on Yasmin for almost a month, 3 weeks to be exact. I was having breakouts before I started taking Yasmin but now I have noticed cystic like spots. Is Yasmin the reason for this? My doctor said if after a few months of being on Yasmin my skin continues to get worse then he will put me on something else if I want. Anyone else had this problem with Yasmin or is this some kind of freak breakout I am having?
There is an initial breakout with Yasmin. Which means you skin actually gets worse before it gets better. I went through a bad one. It look about 4 months for my skin to actually start clearing so be patient. It really helped my skin out a lot.
I have been on Yasmin for two years and it took about two months for my skin to really clear up and it has been great all that time until now. I am having bad acne along the jawline and sides of my face. It just started like a few months ago. Is it possible that the Yasmin is no longer controlling my acne? The only reason I started taking it is to control my acne.

OMG I am soooooo glad to have found you all! I am on day 2 of Yasmin and have a question! I also am taking it for the acne part of it....my question is being PCOS i have done other BC before and ALWAYS gain massive amounts of weight. Do u all notice any bad weight gain with Yasmin? I am KILLLING myself 5 days a week exercising and i sooo don't want this to get in the way. Sigh..i am just so scared of putting on weight all to just control the acne. Also, are u all taking Sprio with this?? I am gonna take it with the yasmin..I think that would probably be the best in regards to acne control. Taking yasmin is like taking 25mg of spiro and I think I normally need like 200 mg. Thanks all! Good to have found u!
Sullangirl, Let me know how it goes for you. My daughter (18-I am the one on the internet doing all the PCOS resech for her), just got a prescription tonight and will start tomorrow both Yasmin and Spironolactone , hoping to have clear skin and thinness(!) in one month because she will be in a play. I am nervous that the side effects will prevent this. I am wishing though that she tried saw palmetto first.
Ok....i lasted 6 days and after gaining 4 INCHES on my abdomen I stopped. I know I know...u can't just stop u have to give it time yada yada...well, i eat VERY well, i exercise 5 days a week and am the most conscience of my body. I HATED it. It was the same as any other bc for me at least. It was the water bloat. I hate that. Either way...I will NEVER go on bc again. If your daughter is at ALL hormone sensitive bc is not the way to go.
Is Yasmin causing cystic acne?
