Oral contraceptives and the sun From: AMY (anonymous@obgyn.net) Fri, 16 Feb 2001 13:16:08 -0500 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Steph: "Re: I've searched the archives and haven't seen this question before..."

Kelly Shanahan, MD: "Re: Oral contraceptives and the sun" Hello- I am 30 years old I have been taking the oral contraceptive ortho-tricylcen for about 10 years. Recently, I have been experiencing adverse affects in the sun. I develop red blotches on my upper arms and chest that become inflammed and irritated. I have been told that this may be a result of an adverse reaction from the birth control medication. Is this possible and if so, why has this developed in recent years when I have been taking it so long. If I were to discontinue use, would these effects dissipate? Thank you.
