Acne and hirsutism, or excessive facial and body hair, can sometimes be associated with hormonal changes and conditions such as PCOS. At Arsh Multispeciality Hospital, we provide evaluation and personalized care to identify possible underlying causes and manage related symptoms.
Hormonal fluctuations can influence the skin and hair follicles, leading to persistent acne or increased hair growth in areas such as the face, chin, chest, or abdomen. These symptoms may occur independently or alongside menstrual irregularities and other hormonal concerns.
Common symptoms include:
Persistent or recurring acne
Excess facial hair on the chin, upper lip, or cheeks
Increased body hair growth
Oily skin
Irregular menstrual cycles
Hair thinning or scalp hair loss
Other signs of hormonal imbalance
Several factors can contribute to acne and excessive hair growth. In some women, these symptoms may be associated with PCOS or increased androgen activity. Other hormonal or medical conditions may also contribute and require evaluation.
Possible contributing factors include:
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Hormonal imbalances
Increased androgen levels
Certain medications
Family or genetic factors
Other endocrine or reproductive conditions
At Arsh Multispeciality Hospital, the doctor reviews your symptoms, menstrual history, medical history, and other relevant concerns. Appropriate investigations may be recommended to understand whether hormonal or reproductive factors are contributing to the condition.
Evaluation may include:
Detailed medical and menstrual history
Physical examination
Hormonal blood tests when required
Pelvic ultrasound when PCOS is suspected
Assessment of related symptoms
Evaluation of reproductive and metabolic health
Treatment depends on the underlying cause and the severity of symptoms. The goal is to manage acne and unwanted hair growth while addressing any associated hormonal or reproductive condition.
Management may include:
Treatment of underlying PCOS or hormonal conditions
Medicines to help manage hormonal symptoms when appropriate
Acne-specific medical treatment
Lifestyle and dietary guidance
Menstrual cycle management
Follow-up to monitor treatment response
When acne or excessive hair growth occurs along with irregular periods, weight changes, or other symptoms, it may indicate an underlying hormonal condition such as PCOS. A proper evaluation can help identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment rather than treating the symptoms alone.
Consider consulting a gynecologist if acne or excessive hair growth is persistent, develops suddenly, or occurs together with irregular periods, fertility concerns, unexplained weight changes, or other hormonal symptoms.
