Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Follihair is helpful in scalp hair growth,

But there growth of chin hair is usually not a side effect of this tablet.

There can be any other causes of growth of chin hair.

Please get an USG abdomen done,

This will help to rule out PCOD.

Let me know you have any other doubt

you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link.
