Hello.
Thanks for the query.
Actually birth control pills control acne to a greater extent.
We in fact advice OCP for severe acne.
You dont need to worry about acne or hair fall.
Only concern with ocp is weight gain.
Acne treatment needs a combination of approach.
Please follow this regimen.
1. Apply epiduo cream in night keep it for an hour and wash your face.
2. Apply dew soft moisturiser and sleep.
3. In early morning apply clindac gel.
4. After bath apply suncote gel.
Carry on with this regimen for a month you will get improvement.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you
