acne
"I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17 (I'm 22 now) and my acne had never been very bad until I came down with it. We are talking awful breakouts: face, chest, back... everywhere. My Dr. put me on metformin (1000mg) and spironolactone (150mg) and I did get the IB but it wasn't too horrible. I took spiro for 4 yrs up until this past summer when my refills ran out and my doctor told me I needed to find a new primary care doctor so I went a good 6 mo off it. Basically my skin has gone back to its original state, I started the spiro again 5 days ago and I am waiting for the initial breakout again but the worst has just been a bunch of little additional blackheads. Hopefully I will not get the IB this time! Even so, totally worth the results!!"
