Yes: The emergency contraceptive pill can do this. The acne should fade; get some topical benzoyl peroxide now. Your periods will eventually settle back. I also notice that you report having acne scars -- this cannot be from your present situation. You owe it to yourself to get with your personal physician to get your acne under long-term control.

Melacare: Melacare is sunsensitive. If you use it apply it at night, but make sure you wash it off in the morning. It is also very drying so you may want to spply a moisturizer.
