About hypothyroidism and facial hair...?!


Question: I started having thyroid issues after the birth of my third child. My first symptoms were difficulty losing weight and hair growth on my chin. There were some other minor symptoms, too. I have been on thyroid replacement for about six months. I'm pretty much back to my old self with the exception of the hair growth issue. I actually shave my chin every second day. Can anyone help me out with this? I can't pluck, there are too many hairs and I'm prone to ingrown hairs. I have really sensitive skin so I can't wax or use depilatory creams. I can't afford the money or time to get laser treatments or electrolysis. Will this eventually balance out like all of the other issues did? Thanks.
