I've been taking Zafrilla for 6 months for endometriosis and other conditions, but I've had acne for a month – what can I do?

Acne that occurs during the use of Zafrilla may be related to the hormonal action of the drug, which is a common cause of skin lesions in young people and adults.

In your case, due to the need to continue therapy due to endometriosis and other diseases, it is not recommended to change the medication on your own. However, you can alleviate the symptoms of acne by taking proper care of your skin – using gentle cleansers, avoiding irritating cosmetics and moisturizing regularly.

It is also worth consulting a dermatologist, who can recommend safe topical treatment, e.g. preparations with retinoids or antibiotics, tailored to your individual health situation. In addition, it is worth paying attention to your diet and try to limit stress, which also affects the severity of acne.
