I am 53, and have been on Ortho Micronor ( progesterone only ) birth control pill for an ovarian cyst. I am scheduled for a VI peel for acne scarring. I have read that hyperpigmentation/discoleration can occur if you are on birth control pills. Is this true? Should I wait until I can come off of the pill. Is this a major concern and does this apply to all birth control pills?

My Dr said there is a risk of pigmentation changes, ie brown spots could get worse. My skin is pretty even toned, could it cause discoloration that wasn't there before? How effective is it for acne/acne scars? Should I stop using epiduo before peel?
