A member asked:

Could my acne be related to ovarian cysts and excess facial hair? last checked(about a month ago) hormones were okay . my cycles are regular 28 days.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Respectfully, i doubt we fully understand a woman's hormonal symphony. The question we can answer isn't whether you have a relative excess of androgens or what else may be involved, but whether your acne can be treated effectively. If you want, it can be, whether by the oral contraceptive pill, topical rx (clindamycin, retinoic acid, benzoyl peroxide), and/or systemic antibiotics. Thanx 4 writing.
