Hi, thanks for posting your query These break outs are acne . Acne occurs due to multiple factors like hormonal imbalances(PCOD in your case), bacterial proliferation , blockage of pores, stress In PCOD there is increased tendency to develop acne because of hormonal changes , so certain oral contraceptives benefit both acne and Pcod There is no cure of acne . It may continue till thirties or even later (But not forever).However it can be kept under control with medications . You may do the following: Use a salicylic face wash twice a day Get your black heads and white heads extracted regularly DO not press or pick acne You may take a few sessions of salisylic peels Apply Retinoic acid cream at night Noncomedogenic sunscreen during the day Consider using isotretinoin or hormonal treatment (contracetives) by a dermatologist s advise Hope this solves your query
