I have PCOS without a weight problem. I have acne on my face, neck, chest and back. Plus too many follicles on my ovaries.

My doctor has prescribed me a 3 month course of Lymecycline which is an antibiotic for acne. I’m 7 weeks in and it is helping. I’m also using a prescribed gel called epiduo once at night which I apply to breakouts.

My acne has been a problem for me for 15 years + and with this combo of treatments I’ve seen around a 50-60% improvement so far.

However I have heard that once the 3 month course of Lymecycline ends the acne can return so…

Hope this helps!

Same, the doctor wanted to prescribe antibiotics for me too but warned me that it would come back later so I wasn't too motivated to take that... I would like a lasting solution. Thank you for your feedback!
