Now let me tell you all I am not growing a beard I have some hairs dark that grow on my chin and chest. i pluck the suckers my Dr. said there are meds to help with this. My question is will the hairs get worse and are there meds that will help?

Don't pluck the hairs that will just make them worse, try getting electrolysis done.

Don't feel bad I have to get waxed once every two weeks on my lip, chin, and neck. It is real embarrassing when people look at you

I understand being embarassed. I was embarassed too when the hairs started popping up. At first I tried bleaching and that seemed to help, but then I decided just to wax and that helped a lot. I have been noticing a commerical for something called vaniqua. I am going to ask my gynochologist next time I see her.

Hi, I had similar, I went on Dianette, the hair growth slowed down drastically within a couple of months, been on it for 12 years and never have to even shave my legs any more, no facial hair, only draw back is that it also acts as birth control so no good if you want babies.
