What Causes Excessive Facial Hair Growth?
What can cause facial hair to start growing in women when their testosterone levels are actually low? I m 26 years old. It started growing 3 months ago. It began with my upper lip hair and below my bottom lip getting a little fuzzier and then I started getting more coarse whiskery hairs on my chin and jaw line and now its on my upper back and starting on my forehead and cheeks. Any insight would be so appreciated!!!
