Does PCOS cause acne?

Often. Higher male hormone levels in PCOS make the skin oilier and cause deep pimples along the jaw and chin.

Will PCOS acne go away?

It usually improves with skin treatment, and often more when hormone treatment is added. It can return when treatment stops, so the plan is long-term.

Is laser good for PCOS facial hair?

Laser reduces hair for many people but needs several sessions, and hormones can bring some hair back. The doctor can tell you which methods suit your skin.

Who will I be speaking to?

Dr. Rohini K (MBBS, IFAAM (Aesthetic Medicine), Fellowship in Cosmetic Dermatology), the skin and hair doctor on PingMeDoc™'s teleconsultation panel. Every skin and hair consult booked through Chamak goes to the skin doctor, day or night, with a reply usually within 30 minutes.

₹299 for a chat consult. Audio or video from ₹499. The price is shown before you pay and covers the written plan and 48 hours of follow-up questions in the same chat.

Will I get a prescription?

Only if the doctor finds one appropriate. When issued, it is a digital prescription sent in the chat and on WhatsApp, valid at any pharmacy.

Where does the consult happen?

Booking, payment and the chat run on www.pingmedoc.com, our teleconsultation site. You are asked for a phone number and a one-time code at payment, and nothing before that. Chamak and PingMeDoc are the same company.
