Question: does birth control implant cause acne?
Answer: Implant (e.g. Nexplanon, Jadelle): The Nexplanon implant contains a progestin called etonogestrel. An analysis of 942 people who used the etonogestrel implant for an average of two years found that 12% reported acne, but only about 1% stopped using the implant because of this side effect (7).
