A cyst is like a hard lump under the skin that doesn't come to a head, it's still a type of spot though and it's nothing to worry about. I get cystic acne on my chin and they can take months to go away, it's a pain! I use a tea tree face wash and spot stick from the body shop, which seem to help me.

Dx: Still working on being diagnosed. First discovered PCOS 2 years ago aged 20.

Sx: Irregular periods, persistant acne, weight gain (not excessive), hirsutism. As a result, very low self esteem, but working on fixing this! My cousin has also recently been diagnosed.

Action: Taking BCP Dianette for my skin. Taking up running and eating a healthy diet to ease symptoms. Trying to stay positive!
