Stop worrying about what you all look like. I know you have heard that
before but really men don't care what you look like. They may say they
do but you get them alone and they don't complain, as long as they are
getting something out of the deal. Men also have their little hangups
about their bodies such as too much hair on their chests or their backs.
None of us will ever be happy with the way we look PCOS or not. As far
as the boils go, they are a very common thing in diabetics or just
people with insulin problems such as us PCOSers not sure why it is but
it is. Just make sure that you keep the areas clean and make sure they
heal. Don't want to get them infected.
