Ive had hair growing on my upper lip and chin area for some time but just lately it seems to be getting darker and thicker it has also started to become more noticeable on my stomach, any ideas why this could be happening

Excessive hair growth is all 2 do with hormones.Also,if ur dark skinned like latino,afro-carrbibean, asian, etc. Then u will naturally have darker,coarser hair then fair skinned people.
Hair growth on ur face is common with older women (i dont know ur age so I cant so) particularly through the menopause.It cud also b realted to being on the pill if u r on it.
U can obviosuly have these areas waxed but it cud b painful & expensive.If ur concerned then visit ur doctor because thick,dark facial can also be a sign of polysistic ovaries.

Facial Hair
I'm 16 and just noticed a couple random hairs that are darker...I have a lot of hair but it is all really light so these ones stand out a little. They are really only noticeable up close but I was wondering if anyone knew the cause?

Since I posted about this problem ive discovered ive got an ovarian cyst and my gyno thinks this is disrupting my hormones and causing the problem, if and when they remove the cyst it should clear up, with you being so young it could be your hormones have'nt quite settled yet or I you've started taking the pill this could cause it the best thing I found is a home eletrolisis kit, it really is working after only 3 months use.

Sometimes it's also genetics for certain people.. Certain ethnic backgrounds can be related to more hair and darker hair..
