Hi, i am on cerazette and i have melasma. The GP advised to remain on cerazette but i am noticing an increase in skin pigmentation around my face. What s your advice? I have tried other pills and they seem to worsen the condition too. Should i stop taking cerazette? Thanks
Hi, Use progesterone only containing birth control pill. Plasma (facial hyperpigmentation) is a common side effect of combined oral contraceptive pills such as cigarette which appears to be due estrogen hormone present in it. I advise you to take progesterone only containing birth control pill which is less likely to cause plasma. Plasma may fade away slowly after stopping cigarette tablets. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
