Excess Vellus Facial hair
by Jennacakes55, Apr 30, 2009 06:51AM
I went on birth control (Lutera) for one year. I did not like the (emotional) side effects, so I discontinued using the pill. Shortly after I stopped taking it, I started to grow excess vellus facial hair. It seems as if I have more vellus hair (peach fuzz) on other parts of my body as well (lower back, chest, lower stomach). I have had this facial hair for 2 1/2 years now. The hair (on all parts of the body) hasn't gotten thicker or darker, it has remained the same, light, but still more noticeable than normal facial peach fuzz. Has anyone shared my experience? I have researched this over and over and have not found many cases. They all revert back to research on Hirsutism, which I do not believe I have. I am wondering if this is the beginning stages of Hirsutism or just a side effect? Could this possibly be happening because of the changes in my hormones? Is there ANY way to get rid of this excess hair, especially on my face. It is too light for electrolysis, but I want it permanently removed if it will never go back to normal.
