I have acne and black spots. Using dermadew soap. L am a pcod patient. L had my hysterectomy last november.

Question

Good morning lybrate-user. Acne associated with pcod is usually quite stubborn. It usually requires more effort to treat than regular acne. You will need to consult a qualified dermatologist because depending on the severity of your acne, appropriate medications need to be prescribed. A few investigations may be needed to assess your overall status since you have pcod. In the meantime, you need to bring your weight under control via diet modifications and exercise. When weight is a factor, gradual weight loss is the main mode of treatment when it comes to pcod and supercedes any medication prescribed.

Have to asses the grade of acne .diet modification and wight reduction to be done gradually if overweight is a factor. Visit nearest dermatolgist. Thanks.
