I got quite a bit of acne from mercilon and it made me sweat a lot, it felt uncontrollable, I struggled to manage it. The worst part was actually the breakthrough bleeding. I have regular periods, but on mercilon, I would bleed continuously until I took the break then the bleeding would let up, but start when I started my next round of pills
