What Could Cause Prolonged Periods, Flaky, Dry Skin And Acne?
I have been having my period for almost a month now for the third time in the last year, now my skin is flaky and dry all the time, my bodily hair grows faster, my acne has increased, and so has my weight. I m 15, however, this did not start when I first got my period, in fact, this started happening almost 3 years after my first period.
