I had perfect skin until I learned I had a clotting disorder and had to stop using Nuvoring. Now in addition to regular outbreaks on my face, my back is constantly greasy and covered with acne. Is there anything I can do? [more inside]

I still have periodic acne breakouts at the age of 24, and now that I have health insurance I want to see a dermatologist.

Have you or anyone you know ever said, "Thanks, Dr. Zizmor?" [more inside]
