In August of last year (2008), I started my first pack of birth control pills, Ortho Tri-Cylcen Lo. I had basically no problems with it at all, except the expected feeling of nausea for the first couple days. Sometime not too long after, I began noticing dry, flaky skin above one of my eyes (mostly in the corner not too far away from my nose). I began putting vaseline on it, but that only seemed to treat it for a short time. I didn’t think much of it and I never even considered that it could be the birth control until it started getting worse and more bothersome. It is now on both eyes and at times is itchy and red. My doctor didn’t seem to know why this was happening, he said it could be a form of mild eczema but at the same time he didn’t see why that would start now (especially since it’s usually genetic and nobody in my family has it) he suggested putting eucerin on it but it just doesn’t seem to be getting better. It wasn’t until just recently I began to back track to when this started and it all leads back to after I started the pill. What should I do? Do you think it’s because of the pill? Should I try a new pill? Or just go off the pill all together?
