    About Unwanted Hair in areas it shouldn't be.
    :confused: Hello, all. I am a very Young Lady, and I have unwanted hair growth in places that I would have never thought I would have hair grow. I Started to notice hair growing around the neck area breast area my junior year. And I know as scary as that sounds, It wasn't much so I would tweeze it away. I hadn't tried waxing or bleaching at the time because well, I never thought of it at that time. Well now I've been out of H.S for a few years, and I see that these unwanted hairs aren't disappearing. It's annoying, disgusting in my opinion as a woman to have hair there, around the breast/nipples, neck area(although lighter) and even belly. NO it's not normal. And I'm fed up with it. I have tried electrolysis as a remedy, although I bet it works, I didn't have the money to go back again, It didn't hurt at all. I felt a tiny sting during treatment but nothing I couldn't handle. Well I wasn't making money, so I couldn't go back. It wasn't that expensive either.So what other remedies can I try? Natural remedies if any. Or is electrolysis my only option? Maybe change my diet?
    ** I do want to say that my menstrual cramps are not normal, Maybe this is why I get the unwanted hairs.? Do you know if there is any correlation there?** I get nauseous, I can' t really move, I have extreme pain. It's not a fun time every month. I did get some birth control pills from my doctor, They work wonders, but I don't have insurance, and they have expired so Tyelnol :( will have to do for now, which by the way doesn't help me half as much as the other birth control did. So what other over the counter medications could I take for this horrible pain due to cramps I get every month that will control the fatigue, vomiting and intense pain?

    Thanks A bunch!

    Extra hair growth can be a sign of hormonal problems so it may be worth a visit to your dr. It can also be made worse by being overweight. You can get home electrolysis kits that work well. I bought one for about £20 a few years back, and it works wonders (I am overweight and get hairs on my chin!) so that might be worth investing in.

    If I stop doing what I did when the hair started growing, will it stop? Cause I rememver doing something really weird right before it started.

    Ladyr3d-get some information on evening primrose oil. It is good for PMS as well as other conditions. I use it for prsoriasis and pms and love it.

    Thanks all of u. No I am not over weight. I am 5'3 and weigh 126-28 pounds(give or take a few) I started to gain weight my junior year but not much I was maybe 136 by jr year the end of my SR year I reached 145 and two summers ago I went to weight watchers and the gym and lost the 15 pounds. But the hair is still creepin' up on me. I don't like it. Some people tell me It's not noticeable, But I notice it. So its not a good thing to have these unwanted hairs.
    ** Yes hormonal problems. That's what my doctor told me, she said she would do some blood work, but I don't think she did. Electrolysis is going to have to do for now.
    Thanks Missk for the answer on PMS.
