Answer 1

Genetics suck sometimes. There is nothing that you can do except remove it. You can opt to shave, wax, or permanently remove it.
Shaving is virtually painless but you have to do it nearly everyday.
Waxing is painful but over relatively quickly. More expensive than shaving but you have to do it less and less often because less hair will grow back each time.
Permanent (electrolysis) - expensive and sorta painful (Kinda like waxing but it is one hair at a time so it takes longer) But once you get it done - that is it. No more. It won't grow back

I myself decided to go with the permanent. You have to make your own decision on this.

Also, don't shave around your nipples. It isn't good. And you really shouldn't wax either but you need to consult a professional if you want that done and see if they will do it for you.

The medical word for that is "hirsutism" and it's more common than you may think. The first thing you need to do is make an appointment with a doctor, preferably an endocrinologist. It can be just extra hair all by itself, or it could be a symptom of another underlying hormone problem. They can do some simple tests and sort that out for you.

There are also good drug treatments to reduce body hair in women. One option is a cream called Vaniqa, that keeps the hair from growing back where you don't want it, but it's a little expensive. There's also a medication called Spironolactone, which used to be used as a blood pressure pill until they discovered that it also has the effect of reducing body hair growth. I have excess facial hair due to my PCOS, and Spiro has done wonders for me. Plus, it's dirt cheap.

Answer 3

It is normal to have a little bit of hair on other areas of our body such as the breast. It is also normal to have hair on our pubic area. It is a form of protection for that area against different kinds of bacteria.

Where the problem with hair can occur is if it gets very thick or dark. When this occurs it can mean hormone imbalances.

I would recommend talking to your doctor about this as well to see what they say.

Answer 4

I can relate. I used to struggle with dry penis skin and odors down there. I would avoid going on dates etc., even though I am a decent looking guy and girls seem to like me. Eventually I started using a penis health creme (called Man1 Man Oil) and it totally helped with my issues. My point is that there are products out there that can help us improve our bodies and raise our self-esteem and confidence in the process. Good luck to you.
