General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
Having acne problem for a long time would require evaluation and proper management. It could be a manifestation of hyperandrogenism, which is one of the primary symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Hence, kindly get your FSH, LH levels tested in blood sample, along with an ultrasound scan of abdomen and pelvis.
In case it is due to PCOS, you need to take antiandrogenic treatment like birth control pills or spironolactone.
Locally, you can overcome the lesions by washing it with mild soap solution and application of Clindamycin cream and Retinoic acid cream over the lesions after drying.
Kindly consult Dermatologist with the reports for appropriate management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
