Cileste (contraceptive) - anyone had dry skin or eczema as a side effect?

[colditz]

My skin was awful this summer, greasy and disgusting, spotty, freasy har etc ... so I went to ask the doctor to go back onto the pill. He gave me Cileste, saying it would help control the spots - and to an extent, it has ..... but as the spots are declining, the rest of my skin, ie not on my head, is dropping off!

i had a horrid time on cileste, ido suffer from dermatitis but it sent it crazy, i also suffered from pains so i have changed to the evra contraceptive patch....its fantastic and if by any chance you forget to put a fresh one on you get a 2 day leeway period

Contraceptive patch, hey?

Hmmm

got a bit of a 'thing' about stuff going in my skin - plus would worry about one falling off and sticking onto the dcs/

I have been on them for nearly 3 months an dhave had no probs with them falling off.you put one on and it lasts a week, so you use them for 3 weeks and then have a patch free week like you would using the pill.
