I have hormonal acne that itches. Its bright red cystic acne. Its worse on the right side of cheek. I do know that I have PCOS with very high testosterone. I'm 27. I also have it all over my back. I can't afford to go to a dermatologist. The treatments for PCOS just make me sick. Any suggestions would be helpful.

have you tried fish oils or evening primrose oil? Bites and saw palmetto with nettle extract are also for hormonal acne. Read up on the dosages for your weight.
What have you tried for PCOS?

If your acne itches it could easily be a food allergy. Have you tried avoiding any foods? Dairy and too much sugar cause people with acne to break out. I avoid sugar and dairy and it helps a lot.
