I literally cannot clearly remember a time in my life when I didn't have severe acne. Recently I was diagnosed with PCOS and high androgen levels, and I hoped that the birthcontrol, by regulating the androgen levels in my body, might help with my problem, but it has been at least six months, and there has been no let-up. I have tried everything topical that you can name, have spent hundreds of dollars. I've tried the most recommended products containing either benzol peroxide or salicylic acid, and every other suggestion I could get, and nothing even helps in the tiniest bit. All I have to show for years of trying is scars and a face that I am ashamed to show to the public. It isn't the normal type of acne, it's a mixture of very deep, cystic acne as well as blackheads and white heads, but it is the cystic acne that is my worst fear and problem.

This has caused me severe depression, and I break down multiple times of the day. I'm afraid of even looking in the mirror, and terrified of leaving my room, much less my house. I feel like I'm at the breaking point - I can't endure this any longer... I'm falling apart.

Please help,

Rynthae

I can't imagine how you feel.

So whom has been diagnosing you? Are you seeing the right people?

You know there is a solution to every problem, unfortunately, when you post , maybe there is no one who has been through this .. "at that time" and so we bring this up again so someone can.

But who told you of your diagnosis?
