Check your thyroid: One cause of many, is an under-active (sometimes over-active) thyroid. Have it checked.

Question 2

is it normal to have light hair on your face as a female?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I do a lot of laser hair removal. Light facial hair is common. Most of the women are very happy to have me remove it. Assuming the hair is darker than the skin, the laser is very  effective at reducing the hair. If the hair is very light blond, it will take a special laser made for blond hair and more treatments.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Yes: Even little kids can have this. It's normal. Usually the hairs are short and fine.

i have been losing more hair than normal, should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Do not worry: Stress could cause hair loss, however your anxiety about hair loss is not helping. Nutrition may also be helpful in reducing hair loss both the food you eat and topical application for your hair. Regardless the hair loss is reversible so do not worry.

Question 6

how to avoid hair growth in female face?

Accepted Answer

Hirsutsm is common: Frequently after an exam and some lab tests (to rule out PCOS, or other hormone problems) women find out that their hair growth is not a disease.  Sometimes losing weight can help.  Your doctor can prescribe certain types of birth control pills that may help as well.  A medicine called spironolactone is sometimes used for this also. Vaniqua is a cream used to reduce hair growing over the lip.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

PCOS: Standard wight reduction diet and exercise. Tx w/metformin may help restore normal menses and even fertility for many women. Other medication may be needed if testosterone level is too high. There is no way to fix the hair that's already grown, only to decrease it's spread to other skin areas.
