Specializes in Pediatrics

PCOS? If female: If you're female, check for polycystic ovary syndrome. Women with this endocrine disorder are obese, have acne, irregular cycles and are hirsute (hairy). See your doctor for a proper evaluation and treatment. If you're male see your doctor for treatment advice for acne and obesity. See http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/polycystic-ovary-syndrome/ds00423.
