Hi!
Welcome to healthcareMagic forum,
If you have a hormonal imbalance then diane 35 usually works if you have taken it for more than 6 months or so.If diane alone doesn't work then you need to get all your hormonal profile done along with serum insulin level.Drugs like spironolactone or metformin can be added to your prescription if needed.If your acne is sever then even retinoids can be added.All these needs a consultation with both an endocrinologist and dermatologist together.Along with this topical medicines too should be added.Drink plenty of water and have a good 7 hr sleep at night.
take care,
Dr.Chawda

If you have pimples, one reason is that you could be suffering from hyperandrogenism. you can have features like pimples, oil skin, facial hair and menstrual problems. I feel you need to have a complete evaluation of your androgen status and then only your treatment would be complete. The choice and type of drugs will depend on the type of androgen and the source of it.
