Hi! I am a 19 year old girl and over the past 2-3 weeks, cystic acne has appeared on my cheeks. Also, thick black hair has been appearing on my inner thighs, around my nipples, and under my chin. I'm not sure why all of this has been happening but I'm looking to get rid of the acne asap. What can I do?
