Background
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine and
metabolic conditions in childbearing women. 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.
