See you doctor: Pcos has many effects on the skin and hair. There are treatments used to modulate the excessive testosterone effects of this condition. This may include birth control pills and/or the addition of spironolactone (a water pill) that blocks testosterone receptors in the skin and hair and throughout the body. See your doctor for a thorough evaluation and help.
