How to avoid hair growth in female face?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
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.

See GYN endocrinolog: You may benefit from hormone study. Normal menstrual periods? You may be tried on spironolactone, which counters male hormones. There are several types of conditions relating to facial hair. Every woman has some, so it is a matter of degree. Shaving or other removal of facial hair does NOT stimulate hair to grow more.
