Dianette for Rosacea?

Just wondering if anyone had used dianette contraceptive pill for rosacea and found it helped?
I need contraception and as this is for skin problems thought it may help out in that area also.
Or if you have rosacea what do you use?

I am beauty therapist & know about the skin & medication. Dianette pill is used for Acne Vulgargis- known as common acne. In some females the male hormone testosterone & androgen increases oil production & causes acne & hair growth. This pill helps reduce the effects of the testosterone & balances the hormones.
Acne Rosacea is an inflamed skin condition not hormonal so the Dianette pill is not usually used for this condition. A dr would prescribe a specific cream for this condition.
