Acne developed due to Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) produces enduring scars and epidermal color changes because of the condition. Hormonal imbalances, excess androgens, and inflammation make PCOS acne difficult to manage. At Vogue Clinic, we offer advanced PCOS acne scar treatments to help you achieve clearer and smoother skin with a customized approach.
The major cause of PCOS-related acnes is an imbalance in hormones, which leads to certain conditions. These include clogged pores, cystic breakouts, and excessive oil production. Due to these breakouts, acne scars are formed, which can be of different types, including:
Atrophic Scars - Such as indented scars like boxcar, ice-pick, and rolling scars.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) - Such as dark spots left under the acne heals.
Post-Inflammatory Erythema (PIE) - Such as redness, causing due to inflammation.
A proper PCOS acne skin care regimen is essential for preventing future breakouts. Our dermatologists recommend that:
People who struggle with oil should use sulfate-free cleaning products that eliminate the oil without drying out their faces.
Apply BHA/AHA-based exfoliants to unclog pores.
Your health depends on maintaining hydration through oil-free moisturizers because they protect your skin barrier.
You should apply daily broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen to protect your skin from hyperpigmentation.
Managing PCOS acne requires a proper approach, including:
People with PCOS should limit their consumption of processed sugars together with dairy products.
Include anti-inflammatory foods like omega-3s for proper hormonal balance.
Stay hydrated and sleep to maintain skin health from within.
