Hirsutism: Excess face or body hair on a woman can have a few causes. Sometimes over the counter products can provide temporary relief. Precription medicine like Aldactone (spironolactone) can also help. See your doctor for appropriate testing and treatment.

Hirsutism: Do you also have acne break outs and may be over weight? If you are not genetically prone to hirsutism, you may have Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and should have your doctor perform blood hormone levels and abdominal ultrasound to confirm diagnosis. If confirmed, you will start on antiandrogen treatment, if not, you can seek permanent LASER Hair Reduction.
