Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for trusting us about her health care.

I can understand your concerns.

Postinor -2 containing levonorgesterol in high dosage.

Acne is a side effect of postinor due to hormonal imbalance( as she had 2 pill in one cycle).

No there is no need to worry, it is only a side effect of pill and subside within a week.

Hope it is useful, feel free to discuss more.

Regards
