What's wrong with me?!
Question: For about two months now, I have been getting these red bumps on my shoulders and upper arms. They have also been appearing on my breasts. I have also been getting painful bumps under one of my armpits and on my gum. What could be wrong with me? I know I suffer from PCO and some symptoms of the condition are acne. I've always had them on my face but is it possible it is spreading to the rest of my body. How serious could this be?

PCOS is linked to high blood sugar, which can eventually lead to diabetes, so yes this can be serious.
So it's important to either get on metformin or start a good diet/workout regimen. Sticking to a good diet can be hard, but sticking to a good work out can get you almost instant acne results. I do just a half hour on the treamill daily (20 minutes of walking and 10 of pure running). Your body burns glucose in the blood first, then fat, so a good cardio is good for PCOS to lower blood sugar. Whenever I do a good cardio, my skin is instantly clearer the next day. I also don't get the sharp pains in my ovaries like I used to get and I also can literally sleep better at night from improved circulation.
Hope all this helps! Best of luck.
