What Is The Treatment For Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome?

I have a PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) which has caused me to have a lot of dark and thick facial and body hair. I'm very pale skinned and have jet black hair so it is very noticeable. I have tried waxing and hair removal cream but it just come back worser. I wear hats and clothes that will cover nearly all my face as i can't show people how manly and horrible it looks.



I'm 18 and very conscious about it, i don't socialize with other's (i have no what i would say friends or anyone i can talk to)I feel my weight and facial hair make me feel ugly and look ugly. i got teased a lot in school and older teenagers are just as nasty. It has gotten me to the point of depression and that i wont even answer the front door without wearing a scarf to cover my face up.



I want to try laser hair removal but told it may not work, as I'm a disables carer so have very little income..Its making me feel very down and depressed and i now have no self confidence at all i just want to hide!



I'm to shy to ask a person face to face so thought I would ask here. I hope someone can help me..Many thanks
