A member asked:

Facial Hair: If your hormones are normal, genetics can be the cause of facial hair. Women with facial hair often have a close relative with the same condition. Another factor that contributes to female facial is ethnicity. Some medications can cause facial hair: phenytoin, diazoxide and danazol. Lazer hair removal is the best treatment as long as the hair is black or brown.

See below: Facial hairs suggest that you have an imbalance in estrogen , testosterone and progesterone. Check your hormones with salvia testing then work with someone skilled in natural hormone therapy.
