Patient's question:
What is the reason for the skin peeling after taking emergency contraceptive pills?Doctor's answer:
After taking emergency contraception pills, the skin peeling is considered to be a side effect of the medication, as the birth control pills contain a relatively high amount of estrogen. After taking the medication, it may lead to a temporary increase in hormone levels in the body, which can then cause irregular skin peeling. Given the current symptoms of skin peeling, it is likely caused by the medication. A small amount of skin peeling does not require treatment, but if the peeling is more extensive, medication should be applied. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
