How long does it take for birth control clears acne completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Three Months: It may take three menstrual cycles (three months) for benefits to be observed using oral contraceptive pills. It is unlikely that all of the lesions will resolve. Other types of acne treatment may be necessary for complete clearance of the blemishes.
