Accepted Answer

As it should : Once you stop bleaching agents your skin color should return to your natural coloring.

Question 3

will rogaine (minoxidil) for men cause excessive facial hair growth on women?

Accepted Answer

No: Rogaine (minoxidil) only acts directly where it is applied. Men put it on their scalp in the front receding hairline area of in the back circle of hair loss. Women get more of a female pattern baldness when is overall equal hair loss from the entire scalp. You may use rogaine (minoxidil) for this, but be sure to wash your hands so you don't transfer it to areas where you don't want hair growth to be encouraged!

Endocrinologist: Your symptoms suggest an endocrine disorder and you should consult an endocrinologist. You may start with a gynecologist as poly-cystic ovarian disease can produce similar symptoms.

Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.

: Some use spirnolactone but maycause enlarged painful breasts.  You could also get castrated.  But would not encourage this. ;-)

Question 6

can a pulsed-dye laser affect future facial hair growth if applied to cheek for port wine stain treatment please help.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Different lasers target different color targets.  In case of pulse dye generally red colors are targeted which is why it is used for port wine staining.  If your facial hair is closer in color to PWS there may be a small effect but it isn't likely.
