"i was diagnosed with borderline polycystic ovarian syndrome when i was younger having bad side effects on my body including severe acne when i was 16 i went on a course of accutane and it worked amazingly. i had small breakouts now and then but nothing that compared to what it used to be. i now am 24 and was prescribed spironolactone because symptoms of pcos were arising and endocrinologist and dermatologist suggested going on this medication to reduce hair growth and so far i&#039;m disappointed. i know that it takes a couple of months for a medicine to fully take effect but my acne has become so severe, along my chin area and i pray that this is just initial and it will go away.
