It’s not only teens who get acne; breakouts can indicate a more hidden condition. ‘it can be a symptom of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PcoS),’ says dermatologist Dr nick lowe. This is where you have raised levels of male hormones. if you’re also suffering from irregular or no periods, thinning hair and weight gain, visit your GP. They can arrange blood tests and an ovarian scan to check this. make sure you also inspect your skin regularly after a shower. ‘check moles, paying attention to asymmetrical shapes, irregular borders, any larger than 12mm diameter or those with an elevated surface,’ advises Dr lowe. ‘any change can be a sign of malignant melanoma,’ he adds – so visit your GP.
