Dr. John Ebner answered

Specializes in Dermatology

Absolutely: Pcos has many hormonal ramifications that do lead to fertility problems, weight gain and hair loss (scalp) and excessive hair (chest, face) as well as acne and an oily complexion. Have a doctor check this out because there are helpful treatments.
