Can You Blame Your Breakouts on PCOS?

At some point in life, everyone gets a pimple or two… or many. Depending upon your skin type, your genes, the lifestyle you lead, and your personal hygiene habits, you will experience a certain amount of blemishes and breakouts. Oftentimes, people think that pimples and other skin issues are only to be expected during the tumultuous teenage years, but the truth is that these irritations can be attributed to a variety of causes, including Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, or PCOS.

Women that suffer from PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) are more likely to experience skin problems in the form of acne, pimples, and oily skin. At every age, women with this Syndrome may battle breakouts, irritation, redness, and other highly visible skin issues. Additionally, the condition can cause skin tags, which are thick pieces of skin that resemble moles. Unlike moles, skin tags stick out from the skin and can be painful if caught on something, such as a seatbelt or the strap of a purse.

To work through the skin irritations that PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) often causes, many women turn to their dermatologists for creams, facial cleansers, and the removal of skin tags. Though many of these skin issues can be treated by a dermatologist, the truth is that their effects are not just skin deep. Many women that struggle with acne, especially as adults, can become frustrated with their skin and experience a decline in their self-esteem. For the women that potentially face PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) unknowingly, this can be very frustrating, as there is no evident cause for the symptoms until a diagnosis is made.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is much more common than many people think, occurring in five to ten percent of women of childbearing age. The symptoms that accompany the Syndrome vary widely and are manifested in different ways from one woman to the next, making a definitive diagnosis difficult to get. Oftentimes, infertility is the symptom that causes women to become aware of the condition.

PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) is characterized by many different symptoms, some of the most common being infertility, ovarian cysts, hormonal imbalances, weight gain, excessive hair growth, and depression. Skin conditions also make this list, as many women that suffer from the Syndrome experience an increase in breakouts on their chest, back, and face, particularly along the jaw line.

Though seeing a dermatologist for treatment of these skin issues is a step in the right direction, the only way to really cure these breakouts is to treat the underlying cause. Often brought on by insulin resistance, PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) has been shown to be effectively treated by methods that incorporate a holistic approach, including nutrition, exercise, and other factors with traditional medical procedures. Through these treatments, many women have experienced a reversal in the symptoms that the condition has caused, ridding them of unsightly blemishes, uncomfortable irritation, and frustrating breakouts.

Though beauty is not skin deep, it can be difficult to feel beautiful when your skin just won’t cooperate. For many women, the reversal of this condition is important in clearing their skin and improving their self-confidence.
