Taking Microgynon 30, Pimple Around Eye During Periods, Not Having Vision Disruptions. Cause?

Hello Doctor, I am a 37 year old female of normal weight for my height. I currently take microgynon 30. Each month at my period break week I experience a pimple around my eye. Sometimes it is in the corner of my outer eye, sometimes it is in the middle of the crease of my eyelid . They do not appear to be a stye as they are not located near base of eyelashes; nor is it a chalazion as it is on the upper eyelis fold hooded area. They usually last around 2 or 3 days and do not cause any vision disruption. I am aware of the pimple which is pinhead size with some surrounding redness, but it is not painful. I am very careful with eye hygiene . What could be causing this to occur? Thank you

Dermatologist 's  Response
Hi,

It seems that you may be having acneiform eruptions.

The pills microgynon you are taking contains levonorgestrel. It may be responsible for the acneiform eruptions.

I advise you to discuss with your gynaecologist abut the side effects of microgynon30. And then you omit this medicine.

Apply clindamycine gel. Take vitamin A cap thrice day till you get benefit.

I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
