Detailed Answer:
Hello sir, thanks for trusting health care magic.
PCOD is a hormonal imbalance which is difficult to cure and can only be kept under control.
It resolves by itself after menopause only.
She should continue taking oral pills which will regulate her cycle and will control her acne resurgence.
For control of acne in addition she can try following measures -
- avoid oil based creams on face and and hair
- avoiding picking acne
- use a good face wash with salicylic acid (speelac is a good option)
- repeatedly wash her face daily at regular intervals
- can try dermabrasion which will help in dealing with old scars and prevent new acne formation
- always cover your face in case she drives a two wheeler
- local application of antibiotic cream with clindamycin and benzoic acid.
For excessive hair on face best is laser treatment so visits dermatologist and she will be relieved of excessive hairs forever.
Take care
