In reply to acne and meds???, posted by jodsteroo on February 14, 2001, at 1:40:04
See an endocrinologist, one specializing in women's health. Acne and hair growth are symptoms of elevated testosterone levels, or more specifically, free testosterone levels. There are various conditions where low levels of SHBG result in too much free (unbound) testosterone in your blood. Hormones affect moods and could explain some of them.
At your age, its normal to have crazy hormone levels. Don't worry. An endo might be able to give you something to tame them a little.
