my PCOS has taken a hold on me and I had not had an AF in around 4 months, after taking progesterone to bring on AF I am now 2 weeks into my new cycle. My acne has gone crazy!!!! I was getting used to having clearer skin (before AF) but not now it's worse than ever.

I was wondering what part of your cycle do you experiance acne at it's worst????

Does anyone have any tips that could help? what works best for you and sudden breakouts?

Thanks

I find my acne gets its worst 2 weeks before my period. i dont know why. i get one or two deep cyst pimples by my chin or mouth or on my cheek. i just use warm water on it and some benzoyl peroxide cream? the one in proactive . thats about all I can do. to manage my other pimples the mild acne that i always have I use a led light thats blue and red , for a half hour every 2 days . it really helps ..also i have been on doxycycline 100mg 1 time a day for a couple weeks witch is helping alot. i wash with a gentle non comedegenic cleanser, and stay away from make up when im really breaking out.
