Advice please.

Hi, wondering if anyone has any good advice.

My daughter(31) came off the pill about a year ago and since then has suffered from acne. Previously her skin had been immaculate.

She went to her gynaecologist and was diagnosed with PCOS.

Has anyone any advice on how to clear up her skin please?

Thanks.

Hi,

Funny how you mention this. I was reading about this just yesterday. So post pill the body produces a surge in testosterone which can cause acne in some people.

You might want to read Dr Lara Briden’s article about this and what you can do:
