I have alot of unwanted hair on my breasts(like 30 on each sides),when i was about 19 i went to my skin specialist for the acnes on my face and she gave me cypretrone compound that time(once a day) and i took it more than a year,though after that she changed it to Roaccutane capsules for a year and the acnes are now cleared,but since then i still have these hairs on my breasts and when i was younger i used to cut them as i didn't know this may get worst.
Then i went to woman'd specialist and she told me that girls like you which are not married yet shouldn't take hormonal pills like cypretrone compound this long as they are so harmful for their future pregnancy

now i'm 24 years old girl.i know if i go to my skin specialist for the these hair on my breats she sill advise those hormonal pills(cypretrone compound)again.
I also have about 20 hair ray like that under my chin.

Any advise?Are those pills really useful?i know that the only way to remove these hairs would be lacer or electrolysis or chemotherapy,but i dont know which one is better for me,
what should i do?
should i again go to my skin specialist or other specialist?

I've been taking acid reflux medications, specifically proton pump inhibitors, but they haven't been working. What can I take or do differently to deal with my constant reflux? I feel like throwing-up after most meals; especially after breakfast.

It is so hard to know how long you should nap for and it is easy to not get enough or sleep too much and feel even worse. Can you help me out here?

Does anyone know if epidurals used for lower back pain (herniated discs) are painful? Do you normally go under? Or is there just local anthesia used? I really need some serious answers and soon! :-\ Thank you so very much!
