    Hairs on face?
    I am 19 and I get long hairs on my face and sometimes on my ears. The hair on my face is on the sides and I don't know what to do to take care of it or why they are growing so long. Any advice or reasoning? Thanks!

    Sometimes it is simply due to genetics... certain ethnic groups are more likely to have facial hair. It can also be hormonal... by chance is weight an issue, irregular periods? Some women will have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and facial hair is a fairly common sign associated with it. You may find bleaching products work well for you or electrolysis perhaps... some women find just plucking or shaving works well enough. If you don't think it is due to genetics (any other women in the family have the same issue?), might want to ask your doctor about doing some checks on your hormone levels.

    It sounds like everything you said. The hairs are not dark or anything its just weird for how long they get and how many. I had cancer when I was 12 so everything to do with my body is irregular. Thanks for your answer!
