I have hirsutism and don't know why as I am an American and don't have medical insurance to figure out why.

I have Pseudotumor Cerebri. I have had that for many years now, which has lead me to recently in the last year be diagnosed with PCOS. I get so embarrassed. I have tried many products but my skin is sensitive, so most cause me to breakout. I am still trying to find something that can help me.

@queen999hell thanks for this, I've never heard of that and find it helpful. I think most women have a bit of hair and it needs to be addressed more as it's embarrassing and seen as unfeminine. However, shaving? I think that should be avoided, hair removal creams have shown me the best results. Laser removal would be great but is expensive and in my experience takes a lot more than they think.

@simplyjustash You're not alone. I am in the same situation. I have theories but I can't know for sure.

@simplyjustash

You might have PCOS

@giagia282 I don't think so. Maybe the mediterraneo's girls.

Italian women had a lot of facial hair and a lot of kids, I think no one minded such a thing. Of course I love beard, but I don't like women...

Ii am indian so naturally hairy.I started growing facial hair when i was very very young. Now im in my early twenties & rcntly found out tht i hve NCAH whch cause excessive hair growth.My doctor sugsted me sum hormone treatmnt & along with it im going 4 laser.result r amazing. PCOS is another commen reason. but the treatmnt for tht too is same as NCAH. And always use a razer. Waxing does a lot of harm to your skin. Its effect shows after some years.And apply a lot of aloe vera.It does miracles.

@RainyDayGirlx Plucking is the worst thing you could have done. Cause now you have scars. Either shave or wax the facial hair.
