i did think about pcos in the past but i fell pg immediately with both my ds and dont seem to have as many problems as sufferers seem to?
Hormonal problems like these can be caused by a condition called polycystic ovaries. A blood test can be done to see what your hormone levels are like. Tea tree oil can be good to use but you need to determine the actual cause rather than just treat the symptoms.

Verity's website may be helpful:-

I have this problem too. Most of my face is fine but get spots really badly on my chin/jawline. It's worse as I'm breastfeeding so can't take anything medicine wise. I take evening primrose oil, and ground flaxseed mixed with yogurt as it's meant to help balance hormones. Have also been advised to try yoga or other exercise regularly, and try to avoid stress as it can produce cortisol which makes it worse.

Sorry, that's probably not a lot of help - if anyone else knows any magic solutions I'd love to hear them!

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
