What Causes Facial Acne And Unwanted Facial Hair On The Chin?

hi, I am 56 and in menopause. I deal with facial acne and daily plucking of course facial hair on my chin and on both sides of my face below the check bone to the mandible. I have had saliva tests done on my hormones and I don t produce progesterone. I use to take bio identical progesterone and it got rid of all my symptoms but this one. As a teenager I would go months without a period and when I did get my period it would be so heavy and go on for 2 weeks or longer. Married at 33 and I had infertility issues and did everything possible with fertility specialist until the last thing which was invitro. I was 39 and decided to stop trying. Any thoughts? I see my GYN for my annual check up next week,

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

First you need to check testosterone level and exclude any ovarian pathology that in these ages is manifested with hirsutism . If the ovarian or adrenal pathology are excluded than is a typical form of hyperandrogenism seen in women in menopause. Your physician may prescribe antiandrogenic therapy than.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
