Hello,
For deciding the oral contraceptive pills, you need to consult a gynecologist. there are many brands of pills available and your gynecologist can help you in deciding which ones are the best for you. Treatment for acne includes, changing the brand of contraceptives that you are taking. Just keep you face clean by washing with a mild soap atleast twice a day.Pat it dry and do not rub it.Avoid picking or pressing the acne. You can also use Benzoyl peroxide 5% lotion or gel once at bedtime. An amount of lotion the size of a pea should be enough to cover most of your face. If your skin becomes red or peels, you are using too much of the medicine or applying it too often.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
