clogged pores and a clogged mind

I am 25 years old. I first started getting pimples when I was in 7th grade just here and there. Then BAM! junior year of high school my face exploded. For no reason, wasn't particularly stressed out, didn't go on a new diet, didn't start taking any weird drugs, nothing. Just surprise! Puberty. I obviously was less than thrilled but I figured hey, not a big deal, it will pass, I mean that's what everyone told me, "everyone goes through this, it will clear up in a few years" HAHAHA yep nine years later and it's still here. no wait, not even just still here. It's getting worse. HOW?! I've been to the doctor about it and to the dermatologist. I have tried multiple 3 step systems, murad, clinique, acne free,acne.org. I have tried spot treatments, I have been on antibiotics, topical and oral treatments (including doxycycline, which took my body a month to realize I was allergic to, and made my whole face swell, think will smith in hitch. Awful. Worse than that. So Yea, life of my skin has been going great. 
There have been points in my life when I have given up dairy, gluten, sugar, the list goes on and on and the effects have been none. I truly DO NOT understand this. 
Then I found out I could have something wrong with my colon, but wait, no, I nothing wrong with my colon in regard to dealing with my skin. 
But then I found out I could have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. 
I know this is this worst thing to hope I have but then again, if it helps my skin, it would be great. BLEH. I'm screaming inside!
