Question 1

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 2

Accepted Answer

Evaluation: You need to be evaluated by your physician for the concerns you mention above.  You need a blood workup so go in fasting and a gyn examination.  I specifically would be concerned about PCOS and thyroid disease.  Best wishes.

Question 3

18 yo fem. dark hair growth on chin. irreg. periods. sometime 2/mon or couple months missed. bad back pain with pd. tough time putting in tampon. why?

Accepted Answer

See on gyn for eval: Sounds like hormonal,imbalance may be the problem. You need a full eval by an on-gyn to determine the answers. Retroverted uterus, endometriosis, sacroiliac dysfunctions and ovarian cysts, can all lead to low back pain, but vaginal dryness and facial hair does sound more like hormones. Make your appointment today.

Question 4

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 5

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 6

i have a prob of excess hair growth on my chin .waxing is not fruitful.i had my blood test done , n its hormonal disbalance. i m really upset what to ?

Accepted Answer

This: This condition is called "hirsutism". Many women face this problem due to the hormonal imbalance.  If your condition is only restricted to the face, laser therapy is viable option to provide a long lasting result. I would recommend go to an experienced dermatologist who is a laser specialist in your area. Since this can be considered as a cosmetic treatment your insurance will not cover for the treatment.

Question 7

long thick pieces of hair growth from rough patch on chin/edge of belly button. 24yo female. not pregnant/sexually active. areas itch, but are cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Excess hair growth: The normal amount of body hair for women varies. Most of the time, a woman only has fine hair, or peach fuzz, above the lips and on the chin, chest, abdomen, or back. If you have coarse, dark hairs in these areas, the condition is called hirsutism. See your doctor , excess hair growth on chin , belly could be altered hormones. And condition like Polycystic ovarian syndrome.

Question 8

my hair growth on my head has changed and it's not growing like it used too??

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 9

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 10

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.
