FOUR? You need to call your doctor NOW.
Most likely they will tell you to throw away the pill pack and start a fresh pack after you get your period.
Call the doctor immediately.

Call your doctor or the pharmacy to ask. There might be some material provided with the pills. Since you're not trying to prevent pregnancy, there shouldn't be any real adverse affects. I'd sayd, start today taking the pill meant for today and so on.
You could also try the website of your medicine, look for the FAQ section.

I kind of dont understand what your saying, but just start your new pack this Sunday and be more careful. It's not a big deal since your not sexually active.

Just continue your normal routine. Taking all of the ones that you missed in one sitting will cause a potentially serious medical problem. Don't sweat it and remain calm is the most important thing at this point. Stressing out over this will actually exacerbate your skin problem and make it worse. Just fall back into your normal routine and your body will naturally work out the kinks itself. But remember: don't stress out.

if you're just using it for your skin, then don't worry about it. if it is really for birth control, then that would be bad, because the hormone levels would drop to a point where it wouldn't be definite that contraception was being provided and there would be a pregnancy risk. In this case you would have to use alternate protection in addition to the pills, to be safe.
