Can Morning After Pills Cause Red Spots On Face?

Hi! First of all if if I m really honest...I took morning after pill like three months ago. Everything was fine till I noticed that I have some red spots on my face.. but the thing is I never had problems with my skin before. Now I m really worried as my face is covered with quite a lot of red spots/marks, especially on my chin and cheek area on both sides. I went to my dermatologist and she said that I ve some hormonal problems and pescribed me some acne gels etc. now it s been 3 months still I m struggling with these spots. Could you please tell me what should I do, and is is true that you can get these strange spots after taking morning after pill? thanks alot! Jamie

Hi,

The Morning after pill causes a surge of progesterone in the body, it causes temporary acne, it is a not long term problem.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
