What's this mad hair growing on my face and what can I do about it?

Question

I keep getting a really weird hair growing on my jaw line. I'm a girl by the way. It's very coarse and dark and it really hurts. I try to pull it out with tweezers but I never seem to get the whole thing and it still hurts as if there is more beneath the surface. How can I get rid of it completely? Can a beauty therapist do anything?

Answer 1

Tabitha above is quite right.....I too have this same probelm.

I actually have a couple of stray hairs that grow, one on my chin ( gross I know ) one on my jaw line and one on the side of my face...

I know exactly where they are they grow in the same place every time and I love getting them with the tweezers!

You are not alone my freind - unless it was a face full of course hair I would not be too worried!

Answer 2

Well, a beauty therapist may be able to help you by getting it removed permenantly by laser treatment. There are hair removing creams which you can use for hair on your upper lip, but I don't reccommend you use this as it may not be suitable and could irritate your face. Also be careful with the tweezers because if you pull it out wrong, it can cause the hair to ingrow and can be very painful.

Before you try any of this, I would go and speak to your doctor. This hair growth may be caused by a hormone imbalance, which can only be corrected by your doctor or the problem will keep coming back. If he can find nothing wrong I'd then go for a consultation at a laser clinic and see what they say. Good luck!

Answer 3

You dont say how old you are. In young women facial hair is usually caused by a hormone inbalance or polycystic ovaries and you should see a doctor for treatment, particularly if you want to have children in the future.
Facial Hair is common in post menapausal women due to hormone changes and can be treated with Hrt, plucking, laser treament - agood beauty therapist would advise depending on amount of hair and your purse.

Answer 4

It will be due to hormonal changes in the body.
It is possible that you have more testostrone cells in your body, which cause facial hair.
You could try getting some pills that will boost up your oestrogen female cells. That way you would get rid of the hair at a small cost.

Otherwise I am afraid you will have to have laser treatment, which can cost quite a bit.
I would try the first option first.

Answer 5

oh yes - we've all been there.

I call them "fuse wire" hairs. You can pluck them out with tweezers in a good light and you should get them out. The thing to remember is that only you can really see them, no one else can.

If they are really bothering you then have electrolysis where they remove the hairs permanently. It can be costly and you'll need a few appointments.

Make sure you go to a really good one because done incorrectly it can leave you with scarring.

Answer 6

Same hair, same spot on the jawline, keeps re-occuring? I have one of these too. it isn't hormone imbalance (what the others refer to are lots of hairs, like a wispy beard!); its just a delinquent hair. Laser it, or learn to live with it. I have named mine. luckily, he is under my jawline so isn't visible and I take great relish in pulling him out every few weeks. Mwahaha. Sorry- TMI, LOL

Answer 7

Hair laser removal - look for clinic in your area for a consultation, do not make any instant decisions, go away and think about it.

Also see your Doctor as it might be a hormonal thing
