What Causes Excess Hair On Upper Lip/chin, Red Spots When Having PCOS?
Hi I have always had perfect skin even as a teenager. I was diagnosed with PCOS in my early twenties and started to develop excess hair on my upper lip and chin. I am now 33 and flare up with red non itchy spots that almost go and then flare up again.
