Is it correct to alternate between continuously taking my contraceptive pill and taking it extendedly?

It is generally safe to alternate between taking your contraceptive pill continuously and with a break for 7 days. However, this may lead to some breakthrough bleeding or spotting. It is important to note that if you are using Diane-35 primarily for acne and no longer need it for that purpose, it might be worth considering switching to a different contraceptive pill that is specifically designed for birth control.
