Have PCOs. On Isotretionin For Acne. Increased Body Hair. Side Effects?
hi,
I am 21 years old. and I have pcos. I have been taking Isotretionin lately to treate recurrence of acne. However, I noticed a big increase in body hair (hair started growing thicker in some places, and appearance of hair in places I did not have hair in originally such as back and upper arms) Does this have anything to do with Isotreionin? and if it does will stopping the medication reverse those effects?
thanks alot.
