Posted on Tue, 22 Sep 2015
Question: Hi. I don't know if any of these symptoms are related but here they are.........
15 year old female. Period late by about 2 week so far. (3 negative pregnancy test performed in the last 2 weeks) Dark brown pea-to-dime size spots on the soles of her feet. ( about 3 or 4 spots on each foot )
Excessive and dark stretch marks in various places, increasing somewhat rapidly (and unusually for someone this age) Also scars unusually badly after injury to skin. Low energy, and fitness seeming to decline. rapid weight gain for someone who is and has been quite active all of her life. she is trying to keep up with her sport of soccer, but is having an increasingly difficult time keeping up with her team. out of breath and exhausted. VERY MOODY.

Brief Answer:
rule out hormonal disorder

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

Given her symptoms, I would think of hormonal disorders, especially thyroid and adrenal glands.

You need to consult an endocrinologist and get evaluated for hormonal levels in blood. Most likely that would clinch the diagnosis and treatment can then be initiated.

Hope this helps. I will be available for follow up.
Regards
