User Comments about Desogen

27 Feb 2013

This pill gave me strange, painful jawline acne for the first 3 months but I stuck it out. My face finally cleared up and my skin was perfect. Then I got a superficial blood clot in my leg and my doctor made me stop taking it. She said this pill has a higher risk than the older pills for blood clots. I should also mention that I am 22 years old, have no family history of clots and work out 5 days a week. My risk was extremely low, so be careful with this pill.
