What Causes Fatigue , Acne And Excess Facial Hair Growth?

I have several persistent symptoms that I have attempted to enter into the diagnosis finder but the options given do not cover the symptoms. The include; Fatigue, increased hair especially facial hair, facial acne along my jaw line, going up to 6 months without having a period then having an unusually heavy period, I am unable to manipulate my pinkie finger and thumb into a number 3 bilaterally, and my grip strength is diminished, I intermittent pain in the right side of my jaw and right shoulder, the right shoulder pain in usually after consuming a small amount of alcohol, also I experience right shoulder pain and numbness after any type of wing motion of my arm. I m mot sure if these symptoms are all related or if there could be separate diagnosis?

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi. Most of the symptoms are consistent with polycystic ovarin syndrome (PCOS). In PCOS, there is imbalance of certain hormones and an excess of androgens. You should consult a gynaecologist/ endocrinologist. Its a very treatable condition. However, you need to take treatment for a long time. For excess facial hair, consult a Dermatologist for LASER assisted hair reduction. Else, you can try shaving, threading, etc. Hope it helps
