Thank you to Kika for starting this important thread and to all who replied.  Lisa, I'm grateful to read the information you shared from Dr. Craig, and very much hope to see formal study in this area.  For a number of years and probably decades, I've heard of health care providers prescribing oral contraceptives for treating acne.  

In gratitude,

Debbie
