Hi,

I can understand your concern for irregular periods(Hormone imbalance) and acne.

Pimples erupts due to hormone testosterone and its bye-products. This hormone plays the most important role in high oil secretion and increase the size of oil glands in both males and females.

Due to high oil secretion the pores or ducts of the glands are blocked. It leads to formation of pimples and also abnormal periods. In females there is not a direct presence of testosterone is there but the female hormones turns into the testosterone and other of related chemicals.
You have been provided good treatment with Spironolactone and Metformin which are the mainstay of the treatment for your kind of problem.

I additionally suggest you to apply clindamycin gel at the pimples area. DO not use any cosmetics on face. You can meet a dermatologist for best guidance.

Take care.
