reasons of sudden increase of facial hair?

Question

i m facing this problem right now . is there anything i can do to stop this

Answer 1

did you recently go on any form of birth control because that can promote hair growth. try tweezing or waxing depending on the amount of hair.

Answer 2

You haven't really told us enough -- e.g. how old you are, your past history etc. A certain amount of increase in facial hair is normal for most women.

When you reach around 30 your estrogen levels begin to drop and if you've got skin that's sensitized to testosterone AND you have moderate to high testosterone levels, your hormone balance shifts towards testosterone-dominated.

If there's not too much of it, do you really need to do anything? Most guys are OK about women with, for example, a slight moustache.

If you do decide you have to do something, then there isn't a simple answer.

Facial (and also body) hair on women comes about in the same way as on men because of

1) your body being sensitized, before you were even born, to testosterone -- doesn't happen to all girls, but does to many

2) your body producing high levels of testosterone

The growth rate and coarseness of the hair depends on just how much testosterone is circulating in your bloodstream.

Steer clear of bleaching -- when someone sees you against the light you'll look as if you have a glowing moustache and/or beard.

As far as removing it is concerned it's worth remembering that

* Waxing, plucking, threading, epilating all pull the hair out by the roots and where the growth is hormonally-driven can actually stimulate a dormant follicle into producing more hair quicker. They also distort the root if done repeatedly, leading to hair growing at strange angles. And you've got to let the hair grow to quite a length before you can repeat the exercise. It can also damage the skin and discolor it. Long-term use of waxing also causes bad wrinkles.

* Chemical depilatories strong enough to remove the hair are very likely to burn the skin, cause swelling and cause long-term discoloration of the skin.

* Laser is also liable to cause burning and discoloration and in any case only works effectively on a dark hair/light skin combinantion.

* Electrolysis is very liable to cause scarring and discoloration of the skin.

Which, like it or not, leaves shaving which does not damage the skin. Best done with a men's-style electric razor, the best of which, for women, are probably those from the men's range of Norelco razors (Philishave outside the US). Most women who try a men's Norelco wonder why nobody ever told them about it before.

Answer 3

Yikes--- if it is sudden, go to your doctor. Your hormones are going wild for some reason. It could be serious and you need to have it checked out. There are all kinds of medical reasons why this could happen and the solution would be medical also.
What you do cosmetically to hide the problem, if you choose to do that, would be something different.
But find out why this is happening.
Hope everything is okay!

Answer 4

This can have 2 reasons to be happening: the level of your feminine hormones (estrogen) are lower or the level of your masculine hormones (testosteron) are higher.

Better check out with your doctor the better way to balance it to the correct level for you.

Answer 5

Check with your doctor. If you're having irregular periods as well, you may have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (don't freak out, it's manageable). There are some great resources out there about PCOS, just google it and see what comes up.
