My niece,17 years old, is experiencing unbelievable hair growth under her chin in the last 6 months. The hair in that area is increasing more and more and it's so embarrassing. She went to a doctor who ran some hormone tests. she told me the results revealed nothing was wrong with the hormones. The doctor suspected that she might have a small cyst on her ovaries that caused the hair growth in that area. She will have an ultrasound after one month. I asked a friend of mine who is a doctor about her condition; he said it might be a "Polycystic ovarian". But, I’ve been reading in the Internet about PCOS, and what I understand is that this syndrome is caused by hormone levels. Is it possible that she might have this syndrome eventhough her hormone levels are normal?

please reply to my email and i'm looking forward to hearing your opinion and thanks in advance for your help.
