Hi I hate PCOS 
I've taken saw palmetto for months now for hair loss. It took a few months to see any effect. I also use a shampoo and conditioner with peppermint oil sometimes. Peppermint oil even blocks dht topically. Not sure how your testosterone levels are but there are several other things you can look into to help with T, dht, and skin health. Peppermint, spearmint, reishi, licorice, green tea, pumpkin seeds, lysine, biotin, and zinc. I found sp to be more effective when I took 640 mg a day vs 320 mg. I was also taking lysine, biotin, and zinc, which make it more effective. I was also taking spearmint for awhile but stopped because I was afraid of lowering T too much.
Given that some topicals block dht in the skin I'm adding peppermint oil to my breast massage. I saw results when I was but it went down when I stopped. Not sure how this would be long term. I'm going to try.
I took PM for a short while and it messed with my cycle too. I didn't cycle it though.
Best of luck sweetheart! And Alliecat is right, eat, eat, eat! Lots of yummy good boobie feeding foods.
