I've had adult acne for over 5 years and came off the the pill around 2.5 years ago. My acne has never improved and have noticed a considerable amount of facial hair in the last 8 months. I saw a hormone specialist who told me I have low preogesterone and gave me a course of hormone cream which I absorbed thru the skin which I did for 5 weeks. I started to get my periods every 2 weeks. My doctor then advised that I should insert the cream thru the vagina as its more effective this way. After another 6 weeks of this I was still having periods every 2 weeks so she then prescribed me progesterone lozeneges. After 1 month of this still having periods for 2 weeks, acne getting worse and facial hair not disappearing I have given up and gone back on the pill to stop my period for a while and have break from acne. I still have breakouts but not as severe but facial hair has become worse. I would like to start a family next year and wondering If anyone can help me further. I don't have PCOS.

i do have pcos, and the symptoms are very similar. how many drs are you seeing? you should try to see the same dr each time and follow drug instructions per the prescibing dr. if you feel that a second opinion is nessecary that is different . when you say your dr does that mean a gynocologist? that is who i would be seeing as they seem to know more about reproductive health issues. maybe even more than the hormone specialist. good luck i hope everything works out for you i know it is very difficult dealing with these kind of issues.
as for facial hair, it is not going to dissapear. my obgyn told me that once a hair follicle starts to produce a long hair it will always produce a long hair. it is not possible to change back, i was told that electrolosis might be something to consider. and that taking hormones is supposed to prevent more hair growth.

Dry and/or greasy skin due to poor oil composition of the skin. Thick greasy oils clog pores, lack of oil leads to dryness and irritation. You need thin oils to moisturize while dissolving and clearing gunk in your poors. Try fish oil or seafood. 2 tsp fish oil a day or 4 servings of seafood a week. Stick it out for at least 2 months; it will take a long time to replace all your oil. Any effect after 1-2 days is temporary or random; so even if it makes you break out a little at first, you haven't given it a full try yet.
In the short term you can wash and moisturize well, but that will only go so far. Plus excessive washing can be drying and excessive moisturizing can be clogging. Use a small amount of a light moisturizer, made with oil not jelly or grease. Often that means soybean oil or mineral oil. Mineral oil means mined from the ground. So soybean oil is usually better, though mineral oil won't cause too much harm. Clean with soap and water, not a harsh acne cleanser. Even then they only work so well. So you really need the seafood.
Antibiotics aren't really good for bacteria long term, they'll come back in force after. Short term they may help. After you get off them find some kefir with acidophilus listed first or 2nd to replace the friendly bacteria they destroyed. Studies show less illness when you have these bacteria, even outside the stomach in places such as the lungs and elsewhere. You want friendly bacteria to fill the void when the antibiotics stop, not harmful ones.
In the short term you might also try 100,000+ iu retinol vitamin A (a megadose, and too much for normal use) or one of the acne drugs that is similar to retinol vitamin A. It's some minor harm to your organs, but it helps against bacteria on your skin. At least it doesn't have the other long term drawbacks to your skin that antibiotics and many scrubs do.

If you are a bit over weight, growing facial hair, breaking out and taking loads of progesterone, you need to seek a 2nd opinion on polycystic ovary syndrome because you have all the symptoms.
