Skin Problems

Hormones have a role in skin health, which is why female patients with PCOS often complain about issues with their complexion. Some will experience a darkening of the skin on the arms, neck, and the creases of skin around the thighs and groin or under the breasts.

Sudden outbreaks of acne are not uncommon and can be seen across the face, chest and back. Skin tags, or small growths of excess skin, can also appear under the arms and on the next. These growths are benign but can be annoying.
