How do I get rid of brown spots?

I started taking Yaz birth control about 10 months ago and now my face has small brown spots all over it. I cannot hide them. My dermatoligest told me to wear sunscreen and they should go away...Well, they are getting bigger and brighter! Will they go away if I switch birth controls? Is there an inexpensive treatment to get rid of them? What should I do? Thank you! Amy

Hi Amy - thanks for your question and so sorry for the delay in getting back to you.  You really should re-address your concerns with you doctor.  As well, a pharmacist might be able to help you with info on the side effects from the Yaz.

 

Here is some general info on birthcontrol/oral contraceptives ( not specifically Yaz)

 

You should also read the article posted by our expert Sue Chung:

Hope this helps and all the best, sue
