Hi Jo
Yes I'm sorry to say I get something like these and I know of another lady with pcos who gets them.
I don't get AF very often but about a fortnight before I do I get all these large swollen red lumps similar to blisters filled with water or very dark blood. They itch like crazy, and can take weeks to go away (same as my horrible AF's).

They aren't like a normal spot/boil as I've had these in the past and there is a big difference. I just figured they are some kind of reaction to my hormones as it seems to me they are kinda like an allergic reaction. I'm sure if we look into this we'll probably find a proper name for them. I get all the other pcos nasties dark skin patches, skin tags, hair etc. so basically figured this was another one of those pcos things.

Anyway, you aren't alone..........hope that helps.....x
