So about 6-7 years ago I noticed that I had a full grown in goatee…I was able to curl it, and it was as though it grew overnight. I shaved the first time and then just plucked the sporatic hairs as they became visible. However I now have to shave just about every other day because its so dark and grows so fast. I also have hair growth slightly on my sideburn area and down my throat. The normal hair growth areas also grow faster than average, causing me to have to shave every other day also..
Im not entirely sure the cause. I had thought possibly medication because I didnt notice it until after I had stopped taking it. And now I havent been on that medication since I was 17, currently 23, and it doesnt seem to get any better. I also thought possibly a hormone imbalance, Im built ‘like a man’, very broad shoulders, large hands, tall, large muscle build(minimal exercising and weight lifting) and a very deep voice, which only lightened slightly at puberty. I am unable to see a doctor, but need some sort of closure/answers.
This is impairing my confidence and my desire to be intimate. Is there a cheap way to attempt to counteract this? Or somehow block the growth at least until I can afford laser removal.

hey,
I am not sure if i have hirsutism, because i don’t really have excessive facial hair.
However i do have a hairy abdomen back, arms and legs.
I am really embarrassed by this and i don’t ever wear short sleeved shirts or shorts/skirts.
Also I live in a really hot country which makes it really difficult in the summer to hide my arms.
Please help me!!

Hi,i just done threading.I wanna know if threading is the same as plucking out ur hair?Will it stimulate faster and thicker growth or the hair growth will remain the same or will it grow finer?If it grows finer then will it be more or be lesser?HELP!

Laila – There are bleaches in the razor/wax isle in many stores (Target, Sephora, Walgreens, etc.) that are mild and safe to use on skin and face. (Don’t worry, the product does not hurt.) I, myself have a few unwanted hairs on my face that I bleach. There are many women and girls who have the same problem.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the Sally Hansen version.

Dear Missy,

Although many women prefer to shave their legs I do not recommend shaving the legs as the hairs will grow back faster /and in most of the cases thicker/and after a few months you will have to shave almost everyday. Try waxing, using depilating cream or laser hair removal. As for the hands – never, never shave them. If you want to get rid of the unwanted hairs on your hands wax them.
Regards,

To everyone,i just threaded,warning for those who wanna do waxing method..the growth of hair is the same but threading is better because there is no side effects.Waxing is more painful and if u are unlucky or got sensitive skin u will get rashes and disfigure ur face.mAKE UR CHOICE.i JUST DONE IT.Its not really painful…

Hi,er my mother says that waxing should not be done for those with sensitive skin…,er she asked me to use threading method…Er will my skin bleed or get rashes if i use waxing on sensitive skin?Cos my mother’s friend had used waxing and she had sensitive skin,she got two red marks on her upper lips that only recovered after one month…So is waxing or threading better?

Dear Missy,
I do not see anything wrong in waxing the hair on the upper lip at your age. The result depends on how thick the hair is. Waxing usually lasts from 2 to 4 weeks. Try to wax and see how it works for you. The other thing you can do is try to bleach /only if the hairs are not thick and too dark/ or try laser hair removal.

regards,
