I've developed cystic acne and i don't know what to do. I have a really big lump in the middle ofmy head, so i had a fringe put in because i thought it would go. I then went to the doctors who gave me some tablets to stop more developing but not to get rid of it. My doctor has booked an appointment with a skin specialist to that i can have the lump removed, but that was over 3 weeks ago and the appointment has still not come thorugh even though my mum asked about it. Now another one is forming and i don't know what to do. It's making me really selfconcious and i hate having a fringe. I can't stand people looking at me, what can i do. I have no idea when the appointment will come through and the new one is forming because the other one is spreading. please help!
When I was 14 I had and ovarian cyst removed and was told every thing was fine but when my periods never came along I went to see my doctor and he sent me up for a scan (1 year after) I got told everything was normal and there was no need to worry. He started me on hormone tablet's and that gave me my first one but then no more and there he put me on Yasmin which made me depressed, moody and very bad acne so I stopped. This year I went back because I still hadn't had one he referred me to my gynaecologist who then from my scan in 2008 diagnosed me poly-cystic in both ovaries. I haven't started any medication yet I'm waiting on my scan next week just to check there has been no dramatic changes.
I am both angry and confused, she only knew what was wrong from my 2008 scan and back then they said everything was fine in my 2008 scan? I don't no much about this syndrome and wondering if anyone could give me some advice?
Thanks.
When I first was diag. with PCOS i was put on metformin and stopped because of side effects. It took me years to realize that I needed to do SOMETHING about my PCOS. I then began to research and found that there is no cure no medication that treats the underlying causes of PCOS. So for me to take any drugs just to mask the symptoms was silly. I did alot of looking around and found a great book about dealing with PCOS naturally and for life. I learned about how food affected my body because of my PCOS and changed my diet. I was able to lose 40lbs,lose 95% of my access facial hair,sleep better and have more energy. I also had 2 cycles in 6 months and have conceived our 2nd child. For me changing my lifestyle to help prevent the many nasty parts of PCOS and the long term health risks that come with unchecked PCOS was the right answer.
here is a link to the book that helped me soo very much, it also has tons of testimonials from hundred of woman.
