I'm a 17 year old femaleCondoms Female condoms Female sexual dysfunction with a problem that really upsets me.
I have have been dealing with this since i was 12 years old.
It's not fun I cannot seem to find a way to treat it.
I used to have very bad acne and cysts at a very young age.
Then around 14 I started getting abnormal hair growth.. it's very severe. I do a good job at hidding it so no one really understands the severity of it. I have to shave every day; my faceFace pain, stomach, breasts, feet, everything. Even the hair on my legs grows back in one day. I just can't seem to get rid of it. It really upsets me because I can't even enjoy going to the beach without having to shave my legs and everything more than once per day.
I suffered without anything to do until I saw a doctor who gave me antibiotics until I was 13 years old, he then put me on Accutane. This got rid of my acne and the cysts. =] !! But I still suffer from abnormal hair growth. I'm not too sure if it is from the accutane or if it is something going along with the acne and bumps. It's horrible to go through this at a young age. No one knew what it was (and still dont). One doctor even thought it all started from a bump in my earEar barotrauma Ear discharge Ear emergencies Ear examination Ear tube insertion Ear tube insertion - series, so he cutCuts and puncture wounds it out. Ouch! it was horrible. Some doctors tell me it is genetic. I know it's not. It is really bad.
Some other things that I have to deal with that might be accosiated with this are:
I sweat more than normal, I have to apply deoderant a few times a day
Severe headaches (I have been getting them very badly since I was in 3rd grade)
Body Pains
Now that I'm 17 I know how to deal with it. But to know what is wrong would be wonderful.
