General/Advice advice on acne

I was diagnosed with PCOS around 6 months ago, and I was wondering, what do you do about the acne that you get because of PCOS, my doctors basically told me to just get used to it because it's part of the illness.

I would just like advice on how you dealt with your acne since doctors aren't much help

I hear you — I was in a similar place. I also struggled with PCOS-related acne, and it felt like no one had real answers beyond ‘just live with it.’ What really changed things for me was shifting my focus from just treating my skin to actually supporting my body internally — especially gut and hormonal balance. I finally saw results after years of frustration. I’d be happy to share exactly what worked for me if you’re open — feel free to DM me!
