Are There Any Birth Control Pills, Unlike Minastrin, That Improve Acne?

My doctor just described Minastrin birth control pills for me, and I read that 2.7% of patients got acne from this pill. I have had trouble with minor acne, and it is finally starting to improve (I'm 20). I really don't want to take anything that could aggravate my skin and make it worse. What do you think? I read that certain birth control pills actually improve acne. Can you tell me what they are?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Side effects are associated with any drug you take.
The medicine which you are taking is suitable to you. Other birth control pills have their own side effects.Which are more severe than an acne.
The Acne what you are having is may be due to the physiological hormonal changes in the body.
Better you continue the same.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thank you.
