How old are you?: In most jurisdictions, your mother has no legal say over whether you can go on the oral contraceptive pill. It often clears acne, and when it's the right preparation for the right woman, it offers many other health advantages -- it's even recommended for celibate women to maintain long-term health. Others options are antibiotics & topicals,spironolactone, or isotretinoin. All are worth the risks.
