vaginapagina | rash while on yasmin

hi ladies

i started on yasmin 10 days ago, on the first day of my period as instructed by my doctor. everything seemed to be going okay and i've been pretty good about taking the pill within one or two hours of the same time every day. however, within the past week or so some sort of rash has developed on my legs. it's really only on one spot, right above my right knee, but there are also smaller patches on both shins. it's only slightly red and it's more like a few small raised/swollen patches that are really dry rather than a ton of tiny red bumps. it's super itchy and the itchiness gets worse when i take a hot shower/shave my legs, so i've been avoiding that. it seems to be getting better but it's still aggravating. i've been moisturizing like crazy thinking it was just a bout of dry skin and it's been helping a bit.

i just read on the yasmin website that a rash/"a spotty darkening of the skin" (i've noticed just one or two tiny purple/brown spots around where the rash is, also) can be side effects of this brand of the pill. i've also experienced a fair amount of spotting since my period ended, although as of this morning it seems to have stopped. so my question is, should i continue to take the pill as directed and hope it clears up? my doctor gave me 3 months worth and said to come back and see her in october or november for a check up/exam to see how this pill's been working for me. should i wait till then or should i switch brands right away? i haven't been experiencing any other side effects at all.

thanks!
