Question:

Help I'm a 22 year old woman and I am getting facial hair!!?

I desperately need advice...for the past 2 years I have started getting coarse hairs on my chin and its really embarrassing. I am too much of a wimp to pluck and bleaching won't cut it, and shaving has to be done twice a day. I'm not on any medication or anything and my hair growth everywhere else is healthy....is there anything my doctor might be able to prescribe. And if so...can I just go to my general family Dr. at Trinity mother francis?


Answers:

Hi there..
first all the other people are right..don't shave...best to pluck or wax...
second of all..and the big tell tale sign..
are your periods regular??
Have you noticed weight gain ?
You could have something called PCOS...
Poly cystic ovary syndrome..
It can cause hair in places that you wouldn't normally get it..
and can sometime cause prob with your periods...
If the hair is bothering you that much then i would defiantly see a Doctor or Gyno...
Some light hair on the face is normal but it's normally fine and the growth is small and consistent...which doesn't sound like you...
A doctor should do blood tests to check hormone levels such as FSH and if that doesn't show anything (Like mine didn't) then an ultrasound may be needed.
Don't put up with this if it's becoming a problem..you don't need to suffer in silence :0)
Get ya self check out pronto and good luck! xx
