Abstract

Acne vulgaris is a prevalent, long-lasting skin condition that affects individuals aged 15 to 40. It appears to be a common ailment that occurs during adolescence. Nevertheless, it frequently impacts adults as well. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent cause of acne vulgaris in adult women. The presence of hyperandrogenism and metabolic problems in this condition may lead to the development of comedones, papules, and nodules on the face, chest, and back. This article specifically examines the current therapies for acne that are linked to polycystic ovarian syndrome
