Hi,

First important think to do ,in you case ,is to understand if you really have polycystic ovary syndrome or you have simply acne. An ultrasound to see the appearance of your ovaries and the thickness of the lining of your uterus and some blood tests to measure your hormone levels, glucose tolerance and fasting cholesterol and triglyceride levels can be helpful to reach the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome or to understand if you have hormone imbalance that can be the cause of your acne.

Only if we understand the root cause of your acne,you can have a definitive cure. About your question,i can say that there are a lot of Ayurvedic treatments that aims to eliminate the problem from its root. Herbs like Symplocos racemosa and Saussurea lappa are known for their properties to reduce acne.

Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is also effective in treating acne. Besides these home remedies, a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle will also enable you to reduce the risk of recurrent acne.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
