Can I stop taking the BCP in mid pack?

I'm starting on the 2nd week of a 2nd pack of my bcp and it's making me really uncomfortable. My skin is breaking out horribly. My doc already gave me a new brand to try after i finish this current pack.

My question is, can i just stop taking this current one right now, get my period and then start the new one right away (next week)? Or do I really have to finish the pack? I don't know if my body can handle 2 more weeks of it.

Will i get pregnant? I think the last time i had sex was sometimes last week.

Please give some advice. Thanks so much for your support.

i'm just afraid i'll get pregnant if i stop now since i had sex sometimes last week. But if i do stop, i know to be safe during the hormone free week and first week of new pill. It should be ok right? Is it gonna mess up my cycle pretty bad? thanks for responding.
