Can anyone help me?

I came of Dianette in November as DH and I want to TTC.

I have always had problems with spots on my chin but recently I have been getting (puss filled - sorry) spots around my hairline - Mainly around the temple area but also on my neck and behind my ears.
Plus my skin tone is getting bad and i have small red spots all over my face too.

I have never had this before and its really getting me down.

I know its due to coming of Dianette as this really helped the spots on my chin.

Any advice on products, skincare and any supplements would be gratefully received.

I had that too after coming off the pill. in fact it just gradually got worse. I think the pill was just masking the symptoms of my PCOS. Anyway, I got on metformin, and after 3 months, my face is acne free. i never thought it was possible. I am not insulin resistant according to blood tests, but met was like a miracle drug for me. I am also undergoing microdermabrasion for acne scars and it is amazing! It's expensive though...$600 for a package of 6 sessions, but it's an investment in me, and it helps my self confidence. It also helps with acne. It is great!

hope this helps!
