A member asked:
I was diagnosed with hypothyrodism month ago and the dr told me i had it long time ago! could it be the reason for slow facial hair growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be: A thyroid disorder can affect facial hair growth. Now that you have been diagnosed, take the proper treatment and shaving often can help build up sturdy hair follicles and hopefully start to bring in a more mature thicker hair growth on your facial area. Best wishes.
