hi, welcome to HCM,
acne felare up is due to high androgen level. as you were taking birth control pill (containing drospirenone) suppresses androgen level and cures acne.
as you are sexually active start treatment with cap minocycline 100 mg daily at night.
wash your face with salicylic acid 2% containing face wash.
apply azelaic acid 10% gel at night and benzoyl peroxide 2.5% gel in day time.
thanks
