Suggest Treatment For Acne And Excessive Facial Hair
Hi, I am looking into a birth control pill for my daughter because she has acne problems and facial hair problems. I m not exactly fond of the idea of putting her on birth control for these issues like a walk-in clinic doctor had suggested. Is there any other type of pill that can do the same job?

Thanks for asking,
acne vulgaris and excessive facial hair (hirsutism) are sign of poly cystic ovarian disease . What about weight and menstrual history of your daughter?
You should start desperinone containing OCP from the third day of menstrual period, it will help.
Beside this propper treatment of acne vulgaris is also needed.
