Hello everyone!

I was tums that i had pcos several months ago. I've never liked into it, school and laziness is why though is a terrible excuse. Recently, ive really started to notice how bad it is. My face is breaking out extremely and feels as if no matter what i do, is not clearing up. My chest and back are full of acne and acne scars. I honestly don't know where to start. I have to visit my gyno, but i keep hearing how the gyno barely helps or give information. Any help would be great!

    You should still see a doctor. They help to some extent, and you need them if you want to be put on the pill or some other treatments. The main thing to do is ask your doctor about a healthy diet for PCOS such as a low GI diet. They might be able to give you some information. And gentle exercise is best like walking, swimming and yoga - because they also help reduce stress. Diet and exercise should help with your acne. good luck.

      Definitely right. See an ob first, with the right medication you can prevent/ stop your acne. Then go to a dermatologist. It’s no use just treating your pimple first, it will just come back over and over again.
