help please I am so embarassed

I am 28 nonsmoker, never touch any drugs. My issue is unwanted hair on the chin. I'm not talking a few hairs here. I have to tweeze daily. I am around 120ish about 5'3". I have a somewhat normal cycle, it does vary some but I never miss a period. I haveheard of the PCOS thing but I don't think I have any other symptoms associated with it. Is there any chance starting birth control could help? I have zero female friends or relatives to talk to I know I should ask a dr. but I have a terrible anxiety of dr/hospital/clinic etc.(I'm trying to get past it) Please any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you, I had not heard of skin tags being a sign. I do have a few tiny ones, I figured were most likely from jewelry chafing my neck.  Is skin discoloration a symptom as well? I have a white patch around any mole I have and some random light patches in more private regions. (btw caucasion, brunette)

There are other symptoms you could have that point to  that are not so obvious. . Skin tags, your hormones being out of wack, ovarian cysts you may not be aware of some of these things unless you go for testing. Birth control is helpful with pcos regulating cycles and to help clear up cysts.  Pcos is also sometimes hard to detect. Vainiqua is a cream you can use on your face. If you go to their website you can get coupons for the product. The cheapest place I've found it was Costco. Good luck to you!

Go to a beauty parlor or spa that has an esthetician (or to a place that does facials) and get electrolysis of those annoying hairs.  They are gone forever, then.
