Question : Hello Doctor,
I have acne. And this is more because of my irregular periods and PCOS problem.
I have observed that i get acne before period dates and also 2 weeks or later after periods 1st date, and again when there is a delay in the next period.
I have had a bad history of irregular periods now since few years.
I lead a stressful work life and this could also be a reason.
My height is 5.2 & weight 70 kgs.
I am looking for some help and treatment for my acne. I am a little sensitive to allopathy creams/ointments. They are greasy and do not seem to suit me.
Can you please advise a good effective treatment for my acne problem.
