HI.
I am a 23 year old female and this is a two part question. First, I have more body hair than any woman should have. It's even on my butt. It's humiliating and inhibits me sexually and in my wardrobe selection. This is not just thin hair it is long thick and black. I compare easily to a man's facial hair, even with the 5 o'clock shadow. I cannot afford laser treatment. So, is there any medication that can help me, I'm willing to do anything at this point. Also, can i just see my pcp for this or do I need to see a specialist? Also, I have red spots all over my legs and sometimes they're purple. It is not razor burn because I do not shave. I either pluck or wax because of the rapid regrowth after shaving. Is there a soap or medication for this. And lastly, my pores on my legs are huge. Is there something I can do for this? For all of these , is a PCP okay? Please help me.
Thank You,
Completely Inhibited

 Hello,
It is possible you might be suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome or some other endocrine system problem. I would see an endocrinologist or gynecologist about this possibility. There are medications that can help once you find the cause. A dermatologist could also help if he/she evaluates the glandular functioning.
This kind of embarrassing discomfort doesn't have to happen. Chances are you can get help.
Best wishes.
