Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I can understand your concern but pimples are a common occurrence of PCOS.
If I was your treating doctor I would recommend you to take capsule doxycycline 100 mg once daily and apply a gel containing combination of adapelene and benzoyl peroxide on the pimples at night for 1 hour only.
Various brands containing this combination available in the market are minoz BPO gel or epiduo gel.
Thesr are prescription drugs and should be used under the supervision of the doctor.
Besides this avoid oiling of scalp, avoid applying cold creams and cosmetics and avoid sugary foods.

Dr Asmeet
