How Do I Take Althea Oral Contraceptive To Treat Acne?

how do i take althea oral contraceptive just to treat acne, do i have to strictly follow the time of taking it? i'm prone to cystic acne but i've been using it for 2 months now and i got clear skin from it, but last week i thought an insect bites on the cheek and scratched it and noticed that it developed into 1 cystic acne, i kind of freaked out coz i'm desperate to have clear skin. also prone to scarring. can i expect good results for my skin in a span of 2 months from taking it, or do i have to wait for 3 months to achieve fuller results? please help doctors
