You may not be aware that I am not a qualified Homeopath.
Homeopathy to me has been a Hobby to which I am passionately dedicated and there are some areas of diseases that I have not studied like PCOS which, as you and your wife are surely aware by now, is a disease that can only be treated and controlled but not cured.
I have specialized in certain diseases which you can access by inserting my name into Google 'Joe De Livera' and also 'Joepathy' both of which will give you some examples of my therapy which has helped many who seek assistance on this and other Homeopathic Forums.
The symptoms that you have listed in your first post are part of the Syndrome that constitutes PCOS which I do not feel competent to treat. You will note that I came into this case as you had contacted me directly by email and I would prefer that the experts take your case over.
Please give the information that Dr Saravanan has requested and I am confident that he will advice you.
I would like to add that I do not recommend that she takes any drug for Hypertension which you reported at 130/90 as the drugs prescribed Concor+Amlodipine can cause more problems than help with her BP.
You can use Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily and this should help reduce her pressure in about 2-3 months. It will also help with her skin condition.
You should test her BP after taking Arnica 30 thrice daily for a week and if it has helped to control her BP around 120/80 to 130/90 without the drugs you listed you are advised to use the Arnica in preference to the drugs as it is absolutely safe for daily use.
You may like to know that I have been taking the same Arnica 30c in the Wet dose nightly since 1996 and my BP is 120/80 Pulse 65 at age 81. I recommend its use without hesitation to all who may read this post. Many who have used it have testified to its seemingly miraculous properties.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made up as follows:
Order the remedy in a 5ml Ethanol pack also known as Liquid Dilution.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake it hard to produce bubbles.
This is homeopathic succussion and must be done every time before a capful of the bottle which is the dose is sipped as directed.

Meanwhile, i will also try to fill up the questionnaire during the weekend and i will look forward to Dr. Saravanan's or Dr. Rafiq's advise on PCOS.

Dear Kadwa Sir,
Thanks a lot for the recommendation. The next big challenge for me is to get hold of this medicine in Saudi Arabia. I saw that this is sent by courier if i order through ABC on line store, but I checked out with couries companies like UPS and DHl, they say that they are not allowed to handle homeopathic medicines in Saudi Arabia. I am not sure if I order this on line, whether this will reach me or not. I will try though.
