Question 1

what could cause excessive hair growth on my chin and back as a female under 30-years-old?

Accepted Answer

Could be PCOS ...: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos) is the #1 cause of unwanted hair. To diagnose pcos, we need 2 out of 3 of: 1. Irregular/no periods 2. Clinical signs like acne, hair growth and/or blood tests showing too much male-type hormones 3. Ultrasound appearance of polycystic ovaries: high volumes or antral follicle counts. Adrenal gland problems can also cause xs hair. See an OB or rei / fertility md.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Polycystic ovarian: syndrome, see an OBGYN, that does work with this problem, or an endocrinologist. This can be treated.

Question 3

can shaving your head hair cause hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Shaving hair: NO, shaving does not "cause" hair growth. The old wives tale that shaving hastens hair growth in adolescence APPEARS to be true because adolescents are at the age when hair growth begins! Also, when you shave hair it becomes prickly, and more noticeable to the touch. The hair follicle beneath the skin does not know whether the hair above it has been cut long, short or completely shaved.

Question 4

sudden increase hair growth in my chin and one hair growth found in thigh. my medical abortion occur in june. does it occur for abortion? or any reason? it is normal or matter of concern??

Accepted Answer

Chin hair: Chin hair or fuzz in a young female isn't unusual and most often not a sign of a glandular disorder which grows hair also on the chest and breast areolae. I don't think it's related to the medical abortion. I recommend consulting a skilled cosmetician for evaluation and advice.

Question 5

post menopausal just turned 60 past few yrs noticing lots of body hair growth legs/tummy/chin. extreme thinning/shedding of head hair, weight gain pain/discomfort in groin. diagnosed pco many many years ago what could cause these symptoms now?

Accepted Answer

: You should be evaluated by an endocrinologist.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

It can...: Be a range of things: stress, iron, protein deficiencies, genetics, age, infection or even hormone imbalance can cause problems with hair growth or loss.

Question 7

24 year old lady and has fast hair growth on chin and other areas. need home remedies.please help!

Accepted Answer

Hair Removal: The best and easiest way to remove unwanted chin hair is plucking or tweezing. If there are only a couple of hairs on the chin it may be best to get rid of them with a pair of tweezers. This method might be slightly painful but gives you the desired results immediately. Some people even use hair removal creams to eliminate chin hair.

Question 8

can one's diet affect the speed of  head hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Well balanced diet: A well-balanced diet can help promote human hair growth. Vitamin b3 is said to be the backbone of the hair growth process as well as protein since the hair contains high amounts of keratin.

Question 9

hi, i have recently been experiencing unwanted hair growth on my chin and neck area. i was wondering if i should have this checked out?

Accepted Answer

Female facial hair : Often this runs in families and is not often a concern. They should evaluate it since there are hormonal reasons why this can occur

Question 10

Accepted Answer

What's your question: We don't control hair color, texture, distribution etc. Some lose Not everyone goes bald but some do much earlier than others. Not everyone develops white hair but some do earlier than others. Same goes for distribution, etc. While stress might temporarily lead to hair loss, it won't be a permanent issue. Change in hair color tends to be permanent. Very few metabolic issues affect hair like diabet
