Increased acne can be from too much estrogen in your system, and fenugreek increases estrogen, so that would make sense. Increased acne was one of my bad side effects from herbs. So yes it sounds like you need to balance out your hormones. BC might do that, it might not, there is only one way to find out. I've had acne since my teens into adulthood, so for years. What I have found to work for me is taking collagen tablets, drinking more water, taking a multivitamin daily, and using either St Ives apricot scrub with their collagen facial moisturizer (I get dry skin without a moisturizer, find this one not to be oily), or I use Nature's Cure, the papaya kit, comes with a cleanser, toner and moisturizer, both of these brands are what I have found to work for me. Nothing else, and I have tried just about everything on the market. HTH
