Hi guys. I was diagnosed with pcos last year. And since the day I have been told My skin has been crazy with small spots. Does anyone have any tips on what I can ask the doctor for? I used to be on Accutane 2 years ago. Do you think I should ask for another treatment for accutane?

Hi,

You might need to be referred to a specialist to get roaccutane again but it is still available as a treatment.

They will double check what your fertility plans are though as you can’t take it whilst trying to become or being pregnant.

Definitely worth having a chat with the GP about what your options are.

Not what you're looking for?
