If you deal with acne at all, my suggestion is to go to a dermatologist and explain the rest of your PCOS symptoms to them. Chances are you’ll get put on spironolactone. I haven’t been officially diagnosed but I did the same thing with my derm, she unofficially diagnosed me and prescribed that, and it fixed all my problems. So I can only assume it’s PCOS

It was a godsend!! I get all the typical PCOS symptoms, but my acne was particularly awful. I even went through 8 months of accutane only for it to come back. My old derms never thought to suggest PCOS or some other hormonal issue so I didn’t learn about it until I was like 21 :,) I just always assumed cramps that make you throw up and pass out were par for the course and never thought to mention it
