What is the safest birth control to take for acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clarify : Your question is not clear . Do you mean which oral contraceptive can you take that would exacerbate acne the least? Using barrier contraceptive such as condoms are the best option . Consult with your general health practitioner or OB/gyn
