Scientific Rx: Your physician is your best guide to treatment. If you can take the oral contraceptive pill, this itself may help both your PCOS and your acne. Finding a form of exercise that you enjoy is key to managing PCOS, and if you need to lose weight, get some guidance on healthy eating. Topical benzoyl peroxide and if needed your physician's addition prescription-strength Rx should manage your acne.
