I™m pretty sure that I have PCOS (almost positive)- irregular periods, ovarian cysts, acne, hormonal imbalance , etc. Sometimes I have clear skin and sometimes I get huge flares. This month 1/2 I got a terrible flare. My skin feels rough/ waxy like I™ve never felt it before. I have tiny bumps all over my face that won™t go away no matter what topical medication I use. Does this look like a food allergy? Can it be something other than acne that™s mimicking it? About 10 years ago I had such a flare that my entire face was red and there wasn™t an ounce of skin that was clear... I™m afraid I™m heading down that path again. I have done the BC pill and Spiro in the past (which worked for a few years and then stopped). Right now I™m on Metformin, tazorac (0.5) cream and Clindamyacin solution.
