Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of acne marks on face while having PCOS which is mainly due to hormonal imbalance in body.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to

- Scrub your face once a week with face wash containing salicylic acid twice a day and apply cream containing azelaic acid.

- Apply benzoyl peroxide cream and it is purely safe to use.

- Apply tomato pulp on face for 15 min daily and wash it and avoid use of any kind of steroids.

- Drink plenty of water.

If condition doesn't get well in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe clindamycin cream.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
