Abstract
Described are the various effects of birth control methods on the skin-mainly those of the contraceptive pill. The equilibrium of healthy skins and mucosa might be affected by these chemicals or pharmaceutical agents, causing different manifestations. The skin and mucosa should be looked upon as integral parts of the human body and its functions even where localized symptoms arise.Entities:
