If you suffer from Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (“PCOS”) it is likely you may develop acne along with it. An acne sufferer who has PCOS may find it harder to clear the acne. Don’t give up! See your physician for a medical diagnosis. If you are diagnosed with PCOS you should share this with your skin care therapist.
PCOS means that you have a higher level of androgen (male) hormones in your body which is one of the reasons you may develop acne. Topical products are the recommended treatment.
If you are having troubles clearing your skin with topical products a common drug your physician may prescribe is Spironolactone. This can be used in combination with the topical products provided by your skin care therapist. Spironolactone has anti-androgenic properties. It also decreases oil production.
Acne is a difficult condition to treat and is often exacerbated by PCOS due to the over production of androgen.
