Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have facial hairs & acne along with PCOD which occurs due to hormonal changes and when sebum get accumulated along with dead skin and bacteria in clogged pore of sebaceous gland. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply clearasil face wash twice a day as it contain salicylic acid which is very good for preventing acne. Avoid touching and pricking it with sharp objects. Exfoliate your skin one a week to remove the dead skin from your face. If condition doesn't start getting better in a week then consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment. Doctor may prescribe oral antibiotic course for twice a day for few weeks or recent methods such as laser therapy. Apply betnovate on acne twice a day for 2-3 days. After washing face apply cream containing azelaic acid.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
