The mini pill can make acne worse, as it only contains a type of progesterone. Progesterone causes the skin to create more sebum, which is an oily substance that protects your skin. But too much of it can give you spots, and block your pores.
If you’re looking for a pill that may help to treat acne, the combined contraceptive pill, which also contains oestrogen, may be a better choice for you. Our clinician can advise you on this as part of your consultation.
