Hello there.
I am 27 years old, & it is believed that I have PCOS-- I definitely have hormonal acne. It is so embarassing as an adult to even leave the house- and it can be downright painful!

My GYN recently placed me on Estrostep BC and 50mg of Spiro daily. (I just finished day 10).

I am reading that most of you are on higher doses.

Nothing topical has ever ever helped (with the exception of proactiv, and that worked at first and then made it worse). I am not currently using anything topical, either. I use a very gentle wash from Derma-E without any ingredients known to adgetate sensitive skin, and a tee tree oil toner.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
