Taking contraceptive pills containing cyproterone acetate can clear pimples only if it is due to higher levels of male hormones. Since your problem started after exposure to dust, it may be due to blocking of the pores of glands. You should wash face several times with water. If pimples are infected you may require antibiotics treatment.
Hi greetings Birth control pills will prevent pimples in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome having hyperandrogenism ,meaning signs of male hormonal effects like pimples ,hair all over body etc. In such patients some of the oc pill will help.But that is not given as a treatment for pimples. I think you should be taking measures to prevent dust and other irritants and consult a dermatologist for acne treatment. hope my answer helps you. Regards
