You have certainly tried a variety of pills. Yes, the acne could have been affected by stopping the pill. In the time since April the after-effects should be gone and, I suspect, that you are back to a naturally irregular cycle. There is no need to wait longer after Cerazette

I, personally, do not prescribe the pills for anything other than birth control; if a woman needs an iron supplement or acne treatment, then do those but focus on contraception with hormones.

It is time for a long talk with your doctor and you should describe exactly the side-effects you experienced with each of the pills you have been on. The doctor can lay out the alternatives including other pills or the ring for hormonal birth control or, perhaps, you may wish to consider an IUD. Some doctors will not insert the latter until after a woman has had a baby but with women who have not tolerated the pill (various), the IUD (without hormones) should be acceptable.

Have a real counseling session with your doctor or a knowledgeable trainer at a women's clinic. Remember, the goal is contraception. There are other treatments for acne.
