Acne: You have many choices in treating acne at any age and starting with some topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid preparations that are readily purchased at the pharmacy might be a good idea. Oral contraceptives are by prescription only in many countries and should not be taken without medical supervision.
