Thank you for your questions.

From your explanation above, I believe you took contraceptive pills as treatment for your acne. Hence there would be no issues on when should you start taking the pills as you can start anytime you would like to. However, if the pills are taken meant to avoid pregnancy, you’re advice to take the pills within five days after the beginning of your menstrual period, to be protected from pregnancy immediately. Otherwise you need to practice other types of contraceptive such as condom for the first 7 days before the pills become effective.

The following answers regarding your current queries are just general descriptions. To know more, we greatly suggest that you refer this to your medical doctor.
