What is PCOS? And when does polycystic ovary syndrome become a problem for women?...
Not all women with PCOS share the same symptoms but women with PCOS exhibit one of three main symptoms. PCOS signs and symptoms made clear here....
PCOS is often misdiagnosed. Educate yourself with some diagnostic questions that can point you in the right direction for an accurate PCOS diagnosis....

Q: Ovarian Cysts Cause Acne ?

I just turned 20 a month ago and I've been dealing with acne ever since I got my period...which was at age 10. I've been to tons of derms. and they didn't help at all. I also went to a endro. and he gave me birth control pills. Didn't really help my skin and I gained weight. I tried accutane on the highest dose when I was 14 or 15, but it gave me VERY bad headaches on the 2nd month or so. I couldn't move so I stopped taking them. It's been years since I tried anything for my acne. Right now, my face is clearer then it ever has been. I still breakout, but nothing like before. I also break out on my back/check, but not as bad as before. I just went to a NP a few days ago and she prescribed spiro. I thought I might have one of the following:

Polycystic ovarian syndrome - She said no because I wasn't overweight (pretty thin) Oh & question. I thought I had ovarian cysts because I would get really sharp pains before my period. I thought a cyst was popping or something...but the nurse & np said that if I were to have one & if it popped, then I would be at a hospital. My bio teacher told me it was one when I told her about it so can anyone help me out?

Now I'm taking spiro. I wish I could get to the cause of my acne, and it's frustrating because I want to CURE it, not hide the symptoms. I want to go to a endro again, but I have no insurance or anything...I have to pay with cash. Well, I'll be taking 50 mg of it. Hope it helps, but I wish I didn't have to take medication.

Oh & one last thing. I have red, depressed scarring (pretty bad). I've been taking the exfol serum & super cp serum from skin biology for about 2 months I think. I think there was some improvement...but I'm not sure. Has anybody used their products? Any info. is appreciated you guys. Thanks
