Hi Alina ,
Acne is a common problem experienced by teenagers...although it does leave behind scars....most of these are treatable. Stress can increase acne and since you have polycystic ovarian disease there are two factors that are leading to your breakouts...First of all relax cause treatment is not out of reach and isotretinoin with azithromycin is a good combination. isotretinoin initially causes increase in acne so it is combined with azithromycin...it takes about a month to show results and believe me it does work wonders. Don't loose heart, stop binge eating(fried food, ice cream, butter, chocolates), relax, exercise and most of all do not fiddle or touch the acne as that can leave deeper scars.
Get treated for polycystic ovarian syndrome.(gynaecologist)
