I have recently had 2 infected cysts - one on my back and one on my side under my right arm. My Dr. says I am more prone to these than other poeple because of the PCOS hormone issues. Has anyone else been told this or had a similar experience? Thanks.

My daughter has cysts on her chest, shoulders and back. They are left over acne scars which are quite big (red, raised and about the size of a big thumbnail) and do not go away. She has had one biopsied and the result was a cyst which PCOS women are prone to. They do not advise them to be cosmetically removed because the scar of the removal will make a bigger scar/cyst!! It is one of the MANY horrible things about PCOS my daughter is self conscious about. Sleeveless low summer dresses etc. are out. However, she recently got married and bravely purchased a low cut gown. A professional make up artist did her makeup and made an absolutely fabulous job of covering all her scars.
