When I was put on Ortho Tricyclen, I was told that it would also help to clear my moderate acne. But it seems like my skin has only gotten worse! I’ve been on the pill for almost 3 months. I have no problems with it in the aspect of birth control. Is this a “worse before it gets better” scenario?

Yes, sometimes acne does become worse before it gets better with pill use. If you can hang in there, give it three more months. If your complexiondoes not start to improve by the fifth month, contact the provider who prescribed the pill for you. They may want to try a pill change.
