Hi, I am new to this whole thing I am 17 years old and Have noticed increasing (coarse) hairs on my neck and chin area like that of man.
Its not just few scraggly hairs its those mixed with many short hairs, like that of a boy developing a beard.

I already have hair on my arms, fingers, hands, {(coarse dark) hair on my inner thighs , back of my thighs, buttocks,excess pub's continuing to Cover my stomach,< all accompanied with Very bad acne and scars from ingrown hairs and shaving and nair} hair covering my chest and breast area but is increasingly becomeing coarse and dark, and of course my legs.

I am an African American with very long hair ( on my head) so my mother just ignors my cries to visit a dermatoligist becasue she feels like I am just a "hairy" person. But ive been researching and I do not feel that hair on the head and body are really connected. I was over weight at the most 210lbs, at the age of 16 I went on a low carb diet and shed 40lbs. I also have dark neck area ( very dark) considering my skin color is like a (Pancake color(a cooked one)..LOL)that is the only way to describe it. I have dark , patchy areas under the arms and breast and inner thigh partly I believe is due to being overwieght.

My period is not really irregular even though I have recently noticed it has been off track( being 10 days early, 12 days late etc)


I just am trying to figure out if I have PCOS or if Im just "Hairy"????
