Hi. Im 22 years old I was previously on yasmin and my GP changed me to Qlaira as i had break through bleeding, Im on Qlaira for about 6 months now and im starting to get mild acne.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain both Qlaira and Yasmin are hormone replacement therapy drugs and it depend from individual to individual depending on developing compatibility with the medications..
In case if you are developing Acne with Qlaira there is a possibility that there is some changes in hormonal levels in your body that is causing Acne breakfout and dark complexion..
I would suggest you to consult your Gynaecologist and get evaluated and if required she can again advice you Yasmin..
As of now to control Acne you can start washing your face with Salicylic acid containing facewash..
Apply creams containing Benzoyl Peroxide and Clindamycin+Niacinamide over the pimples..
You can apply Adapelene gel at night..
Apply creams containing Kojic Acid, Glycolic acid, Vitamin E and arbutin for improvement of skin complexion..
Exfoliate your skin twice a week with a gentle scrub..
Avoid oily food and drink plenty of water..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
