I have upper lip hair and chin hair. It wasn't so bad but in the last year the chin hairs or becoming ingrown and causing scarring. PLEASE tell me what I can do about this problem.

Your options are:
Shaving
Electrolysis
A medicine called spironolactone.
A cream called Vaniqua.
Make sure that it is just facial hair growth - which is the case most of the times but some times it could (rarely) be a lifethreatening tumour of overies or adrenals. Many women with hirsuitism also have PCOS which can herald early heart disease, diabetes and stoke.

As if women dont have enough problems, they have to contend with unwanted facial hair as well. The genetic tendency to downy hair that i have to say has been long admired by many poets, and novelists. Usually this soft fine hair decreases by the age of 30. Women are dismayed by the dark hairs on the cheeks or chin that can be linked to hormonal shaving is not reccomended, but simply tweezing can damage the follicle suffiently to thin the hair,if you feel this is too painful the other alternative is facial dipolitrie creams but you must do a small skin test on the back of the hand to make sure there will be no irritation when applied to your face. Another alternative is bleaching the hairs so that they seem lighter, and less visable.

Electrolysis is your best bet but it is painful. An increase of a hormone can cause excess hair growth in Women. Also try using Vaniqua too.
A dermatologist can put you on birth control pills and a testosterone reducer type pill. If that doesn't work then Laser will not do anything for you because Laser is not permanent treatment. But see a dermatologist.

Often related to genetics or weight/hormones. See a doctor and diet if needed. Otherwise save up and get laser removal.

Please, DON'T listen to the silly advices these ignorant people gave you.
Shaving(looks ridiculous!), waxing(doesn't work on face, extremely painful in this area!), elecrolysis(has no effect!)...they have NO clue!!!
The only permanent decision is LASER.
Talk to speacialists, compare prices and just do it.

Well, you can either wax them at a professional spa but if you have enough money then go for the laser...
