What Causes Acne And PCOS?

I actually have an upcoming appointment with a new gynecologist but, I can t help but to wonder what exactly is wrong with me and I always find myself looking it up on google and self-diagnosing myself which is not good. I m 15 and I haven t had a period in about ... I can t remember. But I know it s been way more then 3 months. I have had more then 1 period before and it lasted about a week maybe longer. I would say it was heavy flow but I don t think anything to alarming? Maybe it was I m not sure. Anyways, I have been online a lot looking this up because I do not always have time to schedule an appointment with a doctor. I have been looking for quite some time now and it seems to myself that I might have PCOS. But again, I m not sure. The symptoms I have are very irregular menstrual period, hair growth (more then I think is normal) on my face back & lower. Which I have waxed my face and etc and it grows back super fast and I honestly didn t think that was normal. I have acne which I understand i am in the stage where usually teenagers have acne. But it will not go away. Just a lot of my symptoms keep bouncing back to what I think may be pcos. Please help !

Yeah your symptoms suggests a possibility of PCOS. U should consult a gynaecologist and then you have to undergo a series of tests to diagnose the condition.
