Acne after stopping my birth control pill, what should I do?

Yes, benzoyl peroxide gel is available over-the-counter in pharmacies. You can try using it to help with your acne. Make sure to follow the instructions and apply it once or twice a day. It's important to be patient as it may take some time for your skin to improve. Remember to protect your skin from the sun and avoid washing your face with soap. You can also consider speaking to a pharmacist about other options for managing your acne.
