Hi! My name is Amina and I am 21 years old. I have acne prone skin and I have always had irregular periods.
I've also noticed numerous chin hairs popping up on my face!
I did what any other Gen Z would do-- turn to Google.

Hello, Amina. Here are birth controls! This should regulate your period. Also drink plenty of water.
I also went to see my ob/gyn to have more clarity on what may be wrong with me.
Hello Dr. Irobunda! I have always had irregular periods but I have bad acne even though I am a bit older now.
Maybe there is more to the solution apart from just birth controls and water....
Since my doctor visit 2 weeks ago, my period has not regulated and I have not seen changes concerning my acne.
I remember reading on Google to change my diet to a low carb/ high protein diet. Let's see if that will work...
