New Member, Growing Hairs Posted: 04-28-04 18:17pm
Hello there, I have a probelm, I don't
know if this is the right place or if I
should be somehwere else! But it is a
'womans condition' I think so maybe
someone can help me. The problem is that
I am starting to grow hairs on my face!
It is really embaressing. mostly I see them
and tweazer them out but sometimes I miss
them. I tweazer about 2 or 3 each day and
if I didn't I think I would have about
twenty or thirty hairs around my chin and
the the side of my jaw. They arent like
men's beared hairs but they arent like
girls hair ether. Do I have a hormon
problem, I am not on the pill, please
help if you have had this problem, I am
starting to get very deppressed.

Unfortunately I think this is a problem of
getting older .... As I have aged
I have got a lot more facial hair , hairs
on my chin that I pluck out like you
describe and also a horrid moustache that
I either bleach or use a hair removal
cream to remove.
It is not nice but completely normal and
nothing to worry about.
I know that you can have laser treatment
and electolysis to stop it growing back,
but its expensive.

May Be Hormonal, Posted: 04-29-04 03:50am
Maybe age...
You didn't say how old you were - this
could be just a part of getting older.
On the other hand, if you're on the
younger side - it could be a hormonal
imbalance, as slight as just being a
little off, or to being part of a hormonal
imbalnce type syndrome. If you're very
concerned about it, i'd talk to a doctor
and/or see an endocrinologist who can
order some tests to see about how your
hormones are working.
Good luck

I Hate Getting Older Posted: 04-29-04 23:03pm
Well I didnt think 41 was old!
I can't already be going into the
menopause can i?
I saw a woman recently who was probably in
her 50s, she had tonnes of hair sprouting
from her chin, and in a way I really
envied her because she didnt seem at all
bothered, not worried about trying to look
attractive anymore, but somehow I don't
think by bf would be very happy if I just
let them grow!

It's definitely a hormone thing. Check
with your doctor. When I was on
prednisone, I grew hairs. It's a
well-known fact.
mostly I see them
and tweazer them out but sometimes I miss
them. I tweazer about 2 or 3 each day and
if I didn't I think I would have about
twenty or thirty hairs around my chin and
the the side of my jaw. They arent like
