3. Unexpected Acne
Unexpected acne is another PCOS symptom. A lot of women will have to deal with acne in their teenage years, which is mainly due to hormone fluctuations and clogged pores. There are also those who will have breakouts even before they start having their periods. If the growth of acne is persistent or if it becomes severe, it may lead to a condition known as cystic acne. This may be a clear sign of PCOS.
It is the male hormones that cause the skin of women with PCOS to be oilier than the usual, which then leads to a breakout. A lot of women who have the condition will have to deal with acne on their jaw, cheekbones, and upper neck area.
