Hi,
I deeply understand your concern regarding the acne and facial hair. Since you have been tested by a doctor, it seems to me that you have a condition called PCOS, where in you will have symptoms which you have mentioned. These are all hormonal effects on our body. Taking the medications which you were prescribed will certainly help in decreasing your problems.
Added to it:
1) wash your face thrice daily with soap.
2) drink at least 3.5 litres of water a day.
3) do not pinch your acne, doing it will cause permanent scars.
4) do not shave your facial hair, either bleach them to hide them or in future you can have laser treatment to get it removed. You shall have a beautiful glowing skin, do not worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
With best regards,
Dr. Suhas Chauhan
