Answers:
I know how you feel!. Last week I had to undergo surgery because I had what the doctors called an 'androgen secreting tumor producing high levels of testosterone'!. Don't worry, I'm not saying you have a tumor!! Not at all, but what I am saying is that I understand completely what you're going through!. The tumor caused hair growth I never had before!. On my arms, my legs, face, chest, stomach, back, everywhere!
Unfortunately my doctor told me that my hair will continue to grow where it is, but there won't be new hair growth!. So once the hair follicle is there, it stays!. I'm doing laser hair removal (which is quite expensive)!.
My doctor was telling me there's a birth control pill that can help all the hair!. He didn't tell which one yet, because if I decide to take it he wants to be the one that prescribes it to me!.
I would say the best thing to do is go visit your doctor to have some tests run!. Check your testosterone level!. Have whatever hormonal imbalance you have sorted out and then get laser hair removal!. If you were to get laser hair removal BEFORE getting your hormones in order then there's a chance there could be new hair growth later on!. So go see a doctor (preferably an endocrinologist)!.
Good luck on this and know you're not the only one out there with conditions like these!. =]
On another note, how are your periods!? If you have irregular or no periods you could have something called PCOS (PolyCystic Ovarian Syndrome)!. But if your periods are normal then this isn't something you have to worry about!. But if your periods are irregular, ask your doctor about this!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i would go to your doctor and he can give you some safe options- unfortuantly they are also going to be expensive for example electolosis or lazer hair removal and those are not 100% guaranteed- but there may be more options so it would be better for you to talk to your dr!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Has your doctor tried treating you!? It sounds like too much testosterone!. They should be able to balance the problem with estrogen!. You need to see a doctor for a Rx!. You shouldn't have to suffer like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I would go and see a doctor and see what they would suggest!. You may need meds to keep your hormones in balance!. Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
