Awful acne. (Pictures)

Lily-Anne • Tue, Dec 15

This is one of the many affects of PCOS😞

I rarely show anyone and keep my body securely covered as its so embarrassing and painful, but I need help.

It took me 3 years to get rid of it, on the pill and on an acne pill, and for a while I was acne free! It was amazing, I felt like myself. I felt human for once.

I came off the pill for a trial run in August and within a week I was covered in acne once again.

I'm now going back on the pill but it's going to take so long to get rid of it again😞

Is there anything I can do to reduce the amount? Or to make them noticeable?

I'm tired of hearing "have you had an allergic reaction?" Or "what's up with your face?" It's starting to really upset me. I don't want to be on pills for the rest of my life to control it😞

Any help is greatly appreciated.
