Hi,
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition most often characterised by irregular periods, excess hair growth and obesity, but it can affect women in a variety of ways. Irregular or heavy periods may signal the condition in adolescence, or polycystic ovary syndrome may become apparent later when a woman has difficulty becoming pregnant.
Early diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome can help reduce the risk of long-term complications such as diabetes and heart disease. Talk with your doctor if you have irregular, little or no menstrual periods, are overweight, and have acne or excess facial hair growth. Your doctor may refer you to an endocrinologist, a doctor who specialises in hormonal disorders.
As always, if at all concerned, probably best to make an appointment with your local GP as soon as poss to rule this out.

Do a search on PCOS (many areas of the body it can effect).
