A member asked:

you may visit a dermatologist or an endocrinologist for specific blood tests that will help identify your potential problem. Sometimes these specific signs are due to genetic predisposition that seem to run in certain families as well as @ gyn problems.

It is not a do it yourself issue. You should consult an endocrinologist who will ascertain the proper tests that need to be done, after a thorough history, physical examination and preliminary tests. Wish you good health!
