Avoid the mini-pill (everyday pill) which can induce hormonal acne.
It is not unusual to have an initial temporary worsening of acne when starting a new product to clear it, as unseen pimples come to the surface.
Combined birth control pills should take about 3 months to clear acne. Speak to your doctor about using an acne gel such as Differin (adapalene 0.1%) concurrently to speed up healing time. Or buy an over the counter acne gel such as Freederm (nicotinamide).
