What type of medical doctor should i go because i have facial hair but i'm a woman?

Hirsuitism: Female facial hair growth can be due to hormonal imbalance or other underlying issues, or it can be a simple variant of what is normal. It would be prudent to see a dermatologist or endocrinologist. A history, physical exam, and lab studies will help define the problem. Underlying causes of hirsuitism include: Medications, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and cushing syndrome. Hope this helps!
