what can cause facial hair growth in women and what can i do about it?


Question:
i asked my derma and he said it is because i am getting older i am only 25!! anyone have this problem?

Answers:
Usually hormone imbalance, but I have problems with facial hair and apparently my hormone levels are normal. Personally I don't see how they can be since I could go up to 6 months without having a period, but anyway..

In terms of what to do about it, it depends how bad it is. I have a moustache and beard problem, lol. Generally, I use hair removal cream for the hair on my upper lip, and I bleach the hair under my chin. I've also waxed under my chin which gives you several weeks of hairlessness, but it's painful and I tend to react to the wax cos I have very sensitive skin. When I can afford it, I'm planning on getting either electrolysis or laser hair removal, which will be a permanent solution. In the meantime, hair removal creams, bleaching and waxing are my best suggestions.

Other Answers:
anti-depressant and psychotropic medication can cause this

it is hormonal problem

Well,I am 40 and the only facial hair that I have is my eyebrows!I'd get a 2nd opinion from another dermatologist,or an MD.

You should not be getting facial hair growth at age 25. Most women don't have this problem till 50- 60 when they enter the menopausal years. Are your periods normal? You should probably ask your doctor and whatever you do DO NOT shave because once you do that you encourage the hair growth and will find yourself shaving like a man for the rest of your life.

its most propably a hormonal imbalance,however hormonal treatments are a bit tricky since all hormones of the body are in balance,try consulting another dermatologist(its a very funny answer from the 1st one)
u can always check with beauty centers too.

hormone imbalance
