Question 1

i'm 23 years old male. i only have body hair growth in my legs,armpits and groin. i don't have beard growth or chest hair. is this normal or do i have some kind of hormonal problem?

Accepted Answer

: This isn't necessarily abnormal, but it's atypical at your age, especially absence of beard growth. If you have normally developed penis and testicles, normal voice change since adolescence, and normal sexual function (erections etc) and urges, it reduces the chance of a hormonal problem. If still in doubt, see an endocrinologist for professional evaluation. Good luck.

Question 2

what is the cause of a lump in my right nipple. slightly painful  and hard initially but turns rubbery when stressed. increased hair growth around it.

Accepted Answer

Evaluation needed: You are describing something that could be benign, but there are some more serious possibilities, so get it looked at by a gynecologist or breast surgeon.

Question 3

i have red dots all over my chest and body it seems to be where there is hair growth?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Bumps may be conditions such as keratosis pilaris, eczema, comedones, or folliculitis. Each may have a different treatment, so a primary care doctor can evaluate (in-person or by video) and give some recommendations. Rashes are hard to describe or visualize in words. Little white heads are more likely folliculitis. If recently using a hot tub, such a rash could be due to that.

Question 4

i would like to know the best service/device that will stop hair growth on my chest and leg areas?

Accepted Answer

Hair removal: I'd get with a provider who has an intense pulsed light or a laser hair removal device . While it does take several sessions, it is the only permanent hair reduction treatment available.

Question 5

do biotin supplements cause hair growth on face and chest?

Accepted Answer

No: Biotin is a suppliant alleged to aid in hair growth it doesn't make hair grow any where special  but if you are predisposed to hair in those areas it might enhance what you have

Question 6

im 18 years old, i have very minimal hair growth in armpits & chest, but have had pubic hair since 7th grade. my penis and testicles have not grown since i can remember. i can produce semen but its transparent. is it too late to get help?

Accepted Answer

: You can get the answers after a review of your growth, x-rays of your wrist/hand and blood tests. The story posted does not provide enough information to say yes or no.

Question 7

female with excessive sweating that smells and hair growth on stomach chest back and side burns. what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Get checked: for polycycstic ovarian disease and endocrine dysfunction. Get a pelvic exam and check of hormone levles.

Question 8

how to stop growth of hair on chest and bums ?

Accepted Answer

Laser Hair Removal: Laser treatments offer the best long term hair reduction for large body areas. Multiple treatments are needed and not all lasers are created equal, so do some research before starting.

Question 9

will breast enhancement prevent hair growth around the areola?

Accepted Answer

No: That is genetic, but hair removal with electrolysis or laser is possible.

Question 10

does using ylang ylang oil for breast massage cause nipple hair growth?

Accepted Answer

NO: It would be highly unlikely that a homeopathic oil would cause hair growth (for if it did , we could make millions !).
