I've had this since puberty and didn't know until yesterday that it was linked to PCOS. Once I started Met they got slightly better. The boils no longer get big enough to drain. Now it's mostly like black head and blemishes more than boils. I get them mostly under my arms and on my thighs...also on my waist line and under my breasts. I'll sometimes get them in random places..like on my stomach away from my waist line...or on my back or my shoulder, often where my bra strap hits. I have an appointment in march and plan to talk to my OBGYN about it, see if he can suggest anything...or send me to a dermatologist who can.
