Ovarian Cysts Cause Acne ? Posted: 07-10-07 06:58am
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
