Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and
metabolic conditions in childbearing women. Polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS) is characterized by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, and
morphology of polycystic ovaries. Clinical signs of hyperandrogenism
include hirsutism, acne, and alopecia. Acne is a chronic, inflammatory
disease of the pilosebaceous unit that may have a severe impact on an
individual’s life. The objective of this review is to highlight the
treatment options for female patients with acne associated with PCOS.
The selection of treatment is dependent on multiple fac¬tors including
the patient’s age, clinical presenta¬tion medication history, pregnancy,
and patient preference
