Can PCOS cause acne?

Yes, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) can cause acne. The hormonal imbalance associated with PCOS can lead to increased production of sebum, an oily substance that can clog pores and contribute to acne development. Additionally, the excess male hormones (androgens) produced in PCOS can also stimulate the growth of acne-causing bacteria.
