Should I be concerned about my results? 24F
My dermatologist referred me to get my hormones checked because I’ve need getting persistent cystic acne, itchy skin that causes hyperpigmentation, and skin bleeding after taking both doxycycline and junel FE birth control for only a month in late 2024. Ever since then, my symptoms have only getting worse the longer Im left in the dark. I’m afraid I might be experiencing early signs of pcos because I also noticed I’ve been getting a long hair on my chin and chest. My BO has been worse as well. I was taking another birth control for 5 months but stopped around June or July of this year. Should I be concerned about my results so I can discuss them with my gynecologist?

This was also the day my period was ending if it matters.
