Which contraceptive method is recommended for acne or hirsutism?

  1. Progestin with low/no androgenic activity

  2. Progestin-only pill (POP)

  3. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs)

  4. Intrauterine device (IUD)

The correct answer is: Progestin with low/no androgenic activity

Progestin with low/no androgenic activity is the recommended contraceptive method for acne or hirsutism. This is because some contraceptive methods, particularly COCs and POPs, contain hormones that can potentially worsen acne or hirsutism. Progestin-only methods, such as the POP, may also exacerbate these conditions for some individuals. The IUD does not contain hormones, so it is not relevant for treating acne or hirsutism.
