Facial Hair Posted: 07-27-06 07:20am
I am a 54 yr.Old female with a question on
facial hair. I had a hysterectomy in
1988 & have been on premarin for quite
some time but this problem goes back
further than that. I have a lot of dark
& white hairs growing on my chin area
& have tried everything to get rid of
them-or at least control the growth. The
white ones are very thick & coarse
& make eruptions on the skin as they
come through. I have tried waxing,
plucking, shaving, electrolysis &
vaniqua to get rid of these hairs. I
always end up with sores all around my
chin area from digging the hairs out &
look like I have a bad case of acne, which
is not the case. I thought about laser
treatment but that is only for darker
hairs & the white ones are the biggest
problem. I had a test 20 years ago to
see if my testerome level was elevated
& it came back o.K. I am handling the
menopause issues o.K. But all these hairs
& the subsequest sores are driving me
crazy-plus making me look like a teenager
with bad zits. Does anyone have any
ideas or recommendations on what to do
about this problem?
