How do you deal with hirsutism? I have hair all over my body and face, it really gets me down. Any advice on treatments or supplements to try?

My doctor prescribed vaniqa. Has anybody had good results?

Best type of laser for chin hair and best weight loss treatment? I have tried a normal laser and it didnt work and i have tried contrave and it worked but once you get off you can have weight gain. I am taking metformin and that helps.

I have noticed that my facial hair grows back within the next day. Is this because of my weight gain and will it reduce when I lose weight? I can't even leave my house without having to shave as it's embarrassing.

My hormones are balanced but I still deal with hirsutism on a daily basis. So much so that I shave (my face) every day, if not twice a day.

I have been diagnosed with PCOS for almost a year and ever since iv been experiencing a different body odor that makes it difficult for me to go to the gym, be intimate and just be comfortable. Has anyone else been through this and is there anything that can help?

I used Vaniqa in my early 30’s to help reduce excess chin hair and facial hair and it was effective, I got it on prescription in the uk. Moved to the USA and have no health insurance and no idea how to get it without paying a LOT... any tips ? Also .. does anyone use this regularly ? How do you use it as part of a skin care regime? Would be most grateful for more info

I have had periods from the age of 13, but they have never been regular, they are so erratic and can range from 3 months to 18 months apart and its causes… read more

I’ve tried metformin, spironolactone, birth control(pills & patch). I lost 30lbs also. I just can’t seem to slow the growth of my facial hair.

Im getting so frustrated ladies, its horrible. Im not shaving every other day because the facial hair is growing back so fast. Laser removal is too expensive. Waxing does not work and Nair does not work. Is there anyone out there who have tried to anything prescribed by their doctor? I’m at the end of my rope here and super self conscious lately.
