Since we get a lot of questions about treating acne caused by hormonal disorder, we have decided to dedicate this post to polycystic ovary sindrome and PCOS acne treatment solution.

A number of women are struggling with acne related to PCOS. The research has shown that 27% of women coping with acne are diagnosed with PCOS.

Acne and PCOS

Acne breakouts usually occur as a result of hormonal imbalance and are so typical for teens. But if this skin condition prolongs after that period and in late 20s, it is a good signal to double check if you might have PCOS.

PCOS means that high level of testosterone causes acne. Elevated levels of androgens (testosterone and other male hormones) increase the production of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) which raise the production of sebum. The rest of the story is well-known: bacteria and dead skin cells clog the pores, which results in pimples.

If you are wondering what makes them different from conventional surface bumps, know that:

• The lower third of the face is considered “hormonally sensitive”. That means PCOS-related acne tends to flare in cheeks, jaw-line, chin and the angles of the neck.
• PCOS-related acne is actually tender knots under the skin and usually appears before menstrual periods. Also, it takes time to go away.

Take the first step

It is very important to try to manage your testosterone levels. As we strongly encourage everyone to start and maintain healthy lifestyle, the meal plan would be the first thing we would advise someone to change.  Since certain kinds of food have big impact on our insulin sensitivity and testosterone levels, some people respond very well to healthy diet. But diet change is just the first step. Achieving healthy looking skin always considers time, patience, and persistence.

Along with cleaning up your diet, try to exercise more and avoid stress as much as possible. Of course good skin care regimen and well chosen facial treatment play the biggest part when it comes to coping with acne.
