I am taking the pill for my acne. I forgot one dose last week. I am now bleeding and I am still taking one pill a day. Should I keep taking one pill a day or quit taking it till my bleeding quit? I am only taking this for acne.
I have missed a dose a week ago and I am now bleeding. Should I quit taking the pill till I quit?

Skipper, is it a birth control pill that is controlling the acne. If it is, keep taking them and as you go thru the pack, it should lessen and when you have a cycle and start the new pack, it should be stopped by then.
