hair around areola, stomach, bikini line...when does it stop!

Does anyone else out there have hair around their areolas..not just a few...a lot.  What about hair on their stomach..what some people call the "love line".  I am SICK of hair..I don't know what to do!  I even have hair "few" on my chest and shoulders.  I was told I have too much male hormone....don't believe that then I also wouldn't have a problem being sexually active.  I have no disire in that area.  Is there another person like this out there?  Please help.  How do I calm the hair growth?  Wipe it out?

I wouldn't be worried about talking to you mom about it at all. I also have the same problem with facial hair and the important thing is to not let it, or others, bother you.
I was very self-conscious about it untilI talked to my best friend's mom who is a hair dresser and she showed me how to wax it ( I personally think its the best way--I would strongly advise you not to use products like Nair...they don't seem to work right)
Just remember you are not alone!
Best of luck!!:)

I'm not a doctor, but I am familiar with this issue.  A nurse once examined me specifically for these signs and then recommended a test of my testosterone levels.  I am a female, but was presenting with other associated symptoms as well.  Long story short, I was eventually diagnosed with PCOS, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.  I would recommend doing some research on that and see if other pieces of the puzzle start to fit together.  For your sake, I would hope they do not, but you might also find some answers you are looking for.  Best of luck to you!

Now there are pulsed light hair removal systems you can but for $200-300. I have been using one from Remington and it has made a huge difference. Earlier, I spent $1000 on laser which only bought me two rounds of laser on chest/nipples, stomach line and armpits. With Remington IPL (iLight) which is to be used every few weeks and I use intermittently, my hair are fewer, thinner and lighter when they grow back. If I stuck to their recommended schedule they probably would have been gone. I have used it for almost an year but probably applied it no more than 4-5 times. I also use it for my upper lip and side burns (although not recommended by the manufacturer) and the hair there are almost gone! I have to say I have found the solution for me, though a bit late (I am in my early 40s).
