Hi, I have pcos, when I went off the pill (which I went on in my teens for bad skin) I started getting some major acne. My pcos was only diagnosed a few months ago, but all the drs I've talked to about taking something to clear up my skin have said that nothing is safe while ttc. I have found a natural homemade face scrub works really well for me, http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=plpp&v=e--d_n073pc this is where I got it from, it uses green tea, apple cider vinegar, honey and white sugar. When i found out about my pcos i also found out that I have problems with insulin resistance, so have reduced a lot of the sugar in my diet, including natural sugars such as fruit, and found that helped a bit too. My skin definitely flates up if I have a bit of a binge! Drs all said to me that when I get pregnant my skin should clear up too.
Good luck!
